Authors : Mehdani Miloud . Mehdani Miloud .

Abstract

The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between foreign language classroom anxiety scores, and the learners’ academic performance. The analysis of such a study was performed by the use of the foreign language classroom anxiety scale, commonly known as FLCAS. Such a scale was developed by Horwitz, E. K., Horwitz, M.B. & Cope, J. (1986). It encompasses three subsets: communication apprehension, fear of feedback by peers and teachers, and fear of language tests. Thus, a directional hypothesis was formulated to test out the hypothesis and assess the correlation of the aforementioned variables by means of SPSS. The findings reveal the existence of some relationship between the aforementioned variables.
