Abstract

Foreign language learning anxiety is a factor that has a significant influence on students’ performance and grades. Secondary vocational school students usually have less interest in learning English and their foundation is relatively poorer than senior high school. This study aims to investigate the circumstances of foreign language learning anxiety in secondary vocational school students. This study used quantitative and qualitative methods to carry out the investigation, including questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS 26.0 and NVivo 12.0. Research results suggest that secondary vocational school students have the higher degree of foreign language learning anxiety. According to the descriptive analysis of SPSS 26.0, the average score is 105.2750. Besides, depending to the statistics of 33 specific items, 30 items exceed 3.0000. This study not only enriches the new perspective of foreign language learning anxiety but also provides references for secondary vocational school English teachers.
