Abstract

Anxiety is common in the process of foreign language learning. By using a questionnaire, this research aims at investigating the general levels and structural characteristics of minority middle school students’ foreign language learning anxiety in a minority area of Western Hunan in China. The results show that the total levels of English learning anxiety of the students in this remote region are comparatively high, with obvious individual differences. In situation dimensions, the mean score of classroom anxiety was lower than that of communication anxiety; while in personality dimensions, students have high anxiety in the aspects of fear of negative evaluation and tolerance of ambiguity.
