Anxiety About Foreign Language Learning among High School Women.
Ganschow, Leonore; Sparks, Richard
Modern Language Journal, v80 n2 p199-212 Sum 1996
Examines the relationship between anxiety and native-language skill and foreign-language aptitude measures among high school foreign-language learners using the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS). Findings suggest that skill in one's native language may affect aptitude for learning a foreign language and that the FLCAS may provide an early indicator of basic language problems.
