Abstract:
Debilitating anxiety is a psychological and mental barrier that blocks foreign language learners from acquiring the foreign language and might lead to having bad outcomes. While on the other hand, facilitating anxiety plays a strong predictor in language achievement over time, and it might lead to having positive outcomes on learners' motives and attitudes. Thus, the primary purpose of this review is to explore the existing literature on foreign language anxiety. Second, to give further details on its relationship with other variables, and also its types. Finally, it clarifies the causes of language anxiety and how it affects language learners' abilities.
