An Investigation of Students' Perspectives on Anxiety and Speaking.
Young, Dolly Jesusita
Foreign Language Annals, v23 n6 p539-53 Dec 1990
A survey identified sources of anxiety among 135 beginning college Spanish students and 109 high school students. Results suggest that speaking in the foreign language is not the exclusive source of anxiety. The teacher's relaxed and positive error-correction attitude can reduce anxiety among students greatly.
