Second Language Anxiety (eBook, ePUB)

Affective or Linguistic Variable?

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book brings together three decades of research to show that L1 skills and L2 aptitude are confounding variables in studies of language anxiety and that learners' levels of anxiety for L2 learning are strongly related to their levels of language achievement. It holds the potential to change the ways in which we think about language anxiety.
