The Relationship Between Learner Beliefs and Foreign Language Anxiety of Chinese EFL International Students
The research purpose of this study is to measure Chinese EFL (English as a Foreign Language) international students’ learner beliefs and foreign language anxiety and explore the underlying relationship between their beliefs and foreign language anxiety. The study found that learners’ beliefs about the difficulty of language learning are positively related to confidence about their English proficiency, and the more learners pay attention to linguistic accuracy, the higher their foreign language anxiety. When learners believe they can learn English well, their anxiety level could be low, and if they are anxious about English learning, they will adopt practicing methods to deal with their anxiety.
