Abstract

Foreign Language Listening Anxiety is a specific kind of anxiety that influences students’ learning performances. Through descriptive and factor analysis, paired t-test and independent t-test, our findings indicated that most college students experience a moderate level of English listening anxiety. Also, it is shown that major affects listening anxiety levels between language majors and non-language majors due to listeners’ familiarity with the English language and knowledge. Therefore, to help improve students’ study performance, several pedagogical implications are given to teachers and students of different majors to adopt appropriate teaching methods and relieve students’ anxiety caused by their major.
