The negative
relationship between foreign language anxiety and foreign language learning has
been well-established over the last four decades. Yet, teacher language anxiety
remains a relatively unexamined phenomenon The purpose of this study is to
investigate what anxious non-native student teachers perceive to be the sources
and effects of their feelings of foreign language anxiety. The findings
indicate the participants experience feelings of anxiety due to their fear of
being negatively evaluated, concern over errors, and negative self-perceptions.
Language anxiety also appears to have a number of negative impacts on foreign
language instruction which have not been investigated in-depth before.
