Abstract

As there have been few studies on learning anxiety in online foreign language courses, especially in minor languages, this study, therefore, employed both qualitative and quantitative research methods to survey a total of 109 French undergraduates from 16 universities. Statistical analysis was conducted to explore the levels, sources of foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA) as well as the impacts on academic performance in the COVID-19 context from the French majors’ perspective. Results of this study indicated that anxiety in French online classes was common among French majors, mainly due to students’ own incompetence, fear of negative evaluation, and disadvantages of online teaching and other factors, which also had several specific negative effects on students’ learning. The findings of the study can be applied as a reference for exploring the foreign language anxiety of Chinese French learners and for foreign language teaching practices.
