Abstract

Foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA) is an important psychological disorder that affects language learners' performance and motivation. This article reviews the key factors that lead to FLCA, including fear of negative evaluation communication anxiety. Research highlights how individual differences, such as self-esteem and language level, interact with classroom dynamics to exacerbate or alleviate anxiety. At the same time, the effects of teaching methods, teacher-student relationships, and peer interaction are discussed, and the importance of a supportive learning environment is highlighted. By synthesizing existing research, this review aims to provide insights into effective strategies for reducing FLCA at the source, such as creating a positive classroom atmosphere, introducing collaborative activities, and leveraging technology to enhance engagement. Understanding these factors is critical for educators to design interventions that promote language acquisition and focus on learners' emotional well-being.
