The Intricate Relationship Between the Fear of Making Mistakes and Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety
0 - Default Title
Description
The discussed anxiety presents a multi-faceted phenomenon intricately intertwined with with three overarching categories: "1) communication apprehension; 2) test anxiety; and 3) fear of negative evaluation" (Horwitz et al., 1986). A noteworthy critique of Horwitz et al.'s (1986) understanding comes from Scholz (2012). He argues that even though prior researchers had described FLCA as a complex construct of individual beliefs, they still tended to equate FLCA with general performance anxiety. To Scholz (2012), this issue meant failing to capture the profound complexity of individual learner experiences. As he proposes a dynamic understanding of language learners' identities, language views, and anxious feelings, he emphasizes the interrelation of the three elements, stating that "FLA remains a complex term to conceptualize, but if it is re-evaluated, perhaps research can begin to better understand its effect and reinvigorate this exciting discussion in SLA discourse" (Scholz, 2012).
