Abstract: Foreign language test anxiety (FLTA) is a complex phenomenon. The study investigates the level of FLTA
of contemporary college students and studies the relationship between the FLTA and foreign language test
scores among 165 freshmen. The adapted Test Anxiety Scale (TAS) was adopted, and the foreign language
test achievement took the scores of the College English Test Band 4 (CET-4) as a reference. The results
showed that the average score of FLTA among freshmen was at a moderate level generally, with variations
across emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and physiological aspects. FLTA levels varied by gender and major.
FLTA is negatively correlated with the test scores. It provides a deep understanding of the FLTA and
possibilities of enhancing foreign language test achievement, as are suggestions for future research.
1 INTRODUCTION
The impact of emotional factors on foreign language
acquisition has been extensively investigated by
scholars and researchers, with particular attention
being paid to the phenomenon of foreign language
test anxiety (FLTA) experienced during language
assessment situations, which is widely recognized as
a significant variable in foreign language test
achievement. In the current education system of many
countries, learners' academic performance is mainly
evaluated on the basis of examination results, which
means that academic performance is an important
issue for Chinese students. In the actual English
learning process, it is acknowledged that FLTA is
common among college students, which
compromises their performance in standardized
language proficiency assessments.
There are increasing studies on the relationship
between FLTA and academic performance, but there
are relatively few studies among Chinese college
students. Therefore, taking 165 freshmen in Chinese
engineering colleges as an example, the investigation
seeks to examine the potential correlation between
FLTA and academic performances represented by the
score of the College English Test Band 4 (CET-4) for
standardized testing. Employing the quantitative
method, it focuses on analyzing the current situation
of FLTA of contemporary college students and the
relationship between FLTA and CET-4 scores, so as
to formulate proper attitudes and cognition towards
FLTA on the one hand and some learning
enlightenment of foreign languages on the other hand.
In addition, it is crucial to enrich and expand the
research content in the emerging field of FLTA,
further laying the foundation for the innovation of
strategies for dealing with FLTA in China.

2.1 Related Theories
The theoretical framework underpinning this study
derives from Pekrun's (2006) Control-Value Theory
of Achievement Emotions, which has gained
increasing recognition in the field of second language
learning and provided valuable insights into the
emotional dimensions of language learning processes
(Li, 2018). It covers the following core viewpoints.
Firstly, the three-dimensional analysis of emotion
includes valence (the distinction between positive and
negative emotions), activation level (low activation
and high activation), and goal orientation (process
orientation and result orientation). These three

dimensions together constitute a comprehensive
description of emotion and lay a theoretical
foundation for the definition of emotion (Pekrun,
2006). Secondly, the domain-specific nature means
that the non-target orientation of different disciplines
leads to the change of learners’ academic self-concept.
Therefore, personalized emotional research is needed
to reveal emotional dynamics for different disciplines.
Finally, the complexity of the relationship network of
emotions emphasizes the complex relationship
among emotions, their various influencing factors and
consequences. This includes the distal antecedents of
emotions (e.g., individual internal and external
environments), proximal antecedents (e.g., involving
control evaluation and value evaluation), and their
consequences (e.g., learning motivation, learning
engagement, and learning strategies). This study
focuses on the first two aspects, including emotion,
behavior, individual cognition and physiological
arousal.
2.2 Previous Studies on the Test
Anxiety (TA)
The earliest study about FLTA began with American
scholar Brown in 1938. Since then, there have been
dozens of test anxiety measurement tools compiled
and revised by western researchers. In China, Wang
(2001) conducted a comprehensive evaluation of TAS
through rigorous reliability and validity analyses.
Besides, Ye & Rocklin (1988) and Wang (2003)
examined the psychometric properties of the Chinese
adaptation of TAS, confirming its measurement
consistency and construct validity in the Chinese
cultural context. Empirical evidence suggests that
FLTA represents a common psychological response
during foreign language assessment situations,
affecting individuals in different age and gender
groups, which is widely recognized, particularly
among those whose academic performance and skill
development are subject to systematic evaluation
through competency-based assessment frameworks
and achievement-oriented grading systems.
It is not consistent about the definition of test
anxiety, owing to different perspectives and
theoretical bases. For example, the earliest proposed
test anxiety refers to a kind of helpless and panic
emotion experienced by individuals in the exam
(Mangler & Saeason, 1952). Horwitz et al. (1986)
believed that FLTA was a part of the foreign language
anxiety (FLA) and pointed out that the fear of tests
was a unique kind of FLA . Later, FLTA is defined
from disparate perspectives such as the source of test
anxiety, the meaning of evaluation, the specific form
of expression, the time node, etc. (e.g., Carver et al.,
1983; Zeidner, 1998). The common point is that they
all assert that test anxiety is reflected in cognition,
physiology, and behavior. Therefore, a Chinese
scholar has proposed to define test anxiety as an
emotional response based on the three components of
cognition, physiology, and behavior from a more
comprehensive perspective (Chen, 1989).
International scholars' research on test anxiety has
matured, and the earliest research on test anxiety
proposed in the 1920s provides a physiological basis
for its existence. The research content of domestic
scholars on test anxiety can be divided into three parts:
the research on the influencing factors of FLTA, the
preparation of FLTA questionnaires, and the
intervention of FLTA. The investigations into the
determinants of FLTA have primarily adopted a dual-
dimensional approach, encompassing endogenous
variables such as cognitive processes and individual
chaeacteristics, as well as exogenous variables such
as others' evaluative and availability of social support
(Ye, 2007).
2.3 Previous Studies on the
Relationship of TA and Academic
Performances
The earliest study of test anxiety and academic
performances is traced back to the study of the
physiological and biochemical changes of subjects'
anxiety experience related to test scores in the test
conditions. Not until the test anxiety questionnaire
was published did researchers begin to study the
relationship formally between the above two. Since
the 1980s, it has been mainly the aspect of
psychological mechanisms and clinical research of
test anxiety that has been studied. Horwitz et al. (1986)
reported that there was a significantly negative
relationship among college students between FLA
and their final scores. At present, the research is in the
stage of deepening development (Cao & Cao, 2004).
More and more researchers have studied the
relationship between TA and academic performances
in the form of empirical research. For example, some
researchers reached a conclusion that the adverse
consequences of TA affect college students,
substantially hindering their academic progress and
impeding their potential for educational advancement
(e.g., Shi & Liu, 2006). Whats more, Dong's (2021)
study found that there is a significant negative
correlation between TA and the academic
performances of English learners in China. Moreover,
Li and Han (2022) assert that TA has a significant

531
predictive effect on English test scores. Empirical
investigations have demonstrated the negative
correlation between TA and academic performances
across various academic stages, ranging from primary
educational contexts through secondary to higher
education. Therefore, considerable researches have
focused on TA and academic performances. However,
there are few studies on FLTA. The reason why the
results are slightly biased is that standardized test
scores are not commonly employed as a reference for
foreign language performance.
3 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
The following questions are addressed in the present
research:
1. What is the level of FLTA of contemporary
college students?
2. What is the relationship between contemporary
college students' FLTA and foreign language test
scores?
4 METHOD
4.1 Participants
A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed, from
which 165 valid responses were retained for analysis
following the exclusion of invalid questionnaires that
were obviously randomly answered, missed answers,
and multiple choices. The effective rate was about
82.5%. On account of the particularity of the
engineering college, science and engineering
specialties accounted for 73.05%, and liberal arts
specialties accounted for 26.96%, including 128
males (76.65%) and 39 females (23.35%).
4.2 Measurement
The TAS (Wang, 2001), a traditional test anxiety scale,
was adapted by references to measure freshmen’s
academic performance and FLTA in the subject of the
scores of CET-4 within a specific sample of Nanjing
Tech Universities of Jiangsu Province. The scale
consisted of 36 items utilizing a five-point Likert-type
response format ranging from strongly agree, agree
through neither agree nor disagree to disagree,
strongly disagree. In order to increase the
effectiveness of the questionnaire, reverse scoring
methodology was implemented for specific
negatively-phrased items (3, 24, 27, 29 & 35),
whereby lower numerical values were systematically
converted to represent higher levels of the measured
construct. In light of the definition of the core concept
of FLTA in this study, the investigation of FLTA
needed to be carried out according to the
measurement of these four dimensions: test anxiety
embodies emotion, behavior, individual cognition,
and physiological arousal. In particular, due to the
limitations of objective conditions, the only
participation of the CET-4 examination result in the
CET-4 examination scores was the reference for the
standard examination achievement. In the context of
China, the CET-4 is a compulsory examination for
most college students, which underscores the
importance of English proficiency in the country's
educational system. Therefore, a noteworthy benefit
of this strategy was its capacity to generate a
significant amount of feedback from a diverse group
of people. Furthermore, the previously described
method offered a more accurate portrayal of FLTA
during two-week period preceding the CET-4 test,
aiming to investigate and analyze participants'
emotional states and behavioral patterns. The
consistency of measurement within the Test Anxiety
Scale was assessed through Cronbachs α formula,
with the result that the Crombach consistency
coefficient of the scale was 0.873, and the KMO
coefficient was 0.827, which meant the scale has high
stability and reliability.
4.3 Procedures and Data Collection
There were two-phase data acquisition to collect the
required data. In the first stage, the questionnaires
used in this study were given to the freshmen at
Nanjing Tech University, which was issued two
weeks before the CET-4 test. Before handing out the
questionnaire, it should be emphasized that the
questionnaire is only used as research data and will
not have any negative impact on them. Participants’
profile information was required by the researcher to
obtain their CET-4 scores later. The second stage
involved data regarding participants' linguistic
proficiency levels through an English test using the
scores of the CET-4 test in the second half of 2024. It
is a large-scale standardized test and a national
examination with the purpose of measuring college
students English ability objectively and accurately,
which is held twice in each year.
4.4 Data Analysis
All the data were input and managed by Microsoft
IESD 2025 - International Conference on Innovative Education and Social Development
532
Excel 2019, and statistical analyses were conducted
by using SPSS. There were two sets of data: the TAS
scores and the freshmens CET-4 scores in the present
study. The primary statistical analysis commenced
with the computation of essential descriptive
parameters, where the range, mean, mode, and
standard deviation were systematically derived for
each dataset under investigation. To verify the
distributional normality, subsequent analyses were
conducted involving the calculation of both skewness
and kurtosis measures. Detailed descriptive statistical
analyses were also performed for each item of the
TAS. Actually, a frequency distribution analysis was
conducted for each item, which provided a better
understanding of which features of FLTA are more
apparent in participants. Pearson's correlation
coefficient was used to address the research questions.
5 RESULTS
5.1 The General Situation of
Freshmen's FLTA
The average anxiety value of the general foreign
language test, added with the scores of the aspects of
emotion, behavior, individual cognition, and
physiological arousal, is manifested in the following
table 1. Freshmen taken as the research objects, it is
found that their FLTA is generally at a medium level.
Primarily, there is no doubt that it is a realistic
requirement for college students, that passing CET-4
and CET-6, to strive for better academic or career
development. To a certain extent, the higher the
scores of these tests, the greater the potential for
further education and employment is. In order to
pursue higher scores on these tests, college students
are prone to feeling FLTA within the context of
foreign language assessment situations. Additionally,
the acquirement in Chinese universities depends on
individual consciousness and self-discipline, which is
different from the strict supervision of high school
teachers, further improving their FLTA. As regards
the four dimensions, the relatively high average
scores of emotion, behavior, and individual cognition
are undoubtedly a reflection of the examinees' inner
worries and uneasiness in the face of exams, which is
explained from the side by their attempt to alleviate
their anxiety through emotional, behavioral response,
and cognitive adjustment, while the relatively low
score of the physiological arousal dimension may be
related to the effective physical relaxation training
after the current education reform.

5.2 Comparison of Gender Differences
in the Total Score of FLTA and
those of Each Dimension
The average scores of males' FLTA are significantly
higher than those of females (t = -1.96, p < 0.01).
Similarly, there are disparities in the scores of males
and females in the four dimensions of emotion,
behavior, individual cognition, and physiological
arousal. On the one hand, it is traditionally recognized
that females are born with more gifts for the foreign
language tests than males. For a long time, females'
high self-efficacy has stimulated the achievements of
their foreign language tests, while males may feel
more anxious owing to their lack of foreign language
ability. On the other hand, some scholars assert that
the negative correlation between FLTA and the use
frequency of learning strategies, which, to some
degree, alleviates FLTA of females. Due to the social
stereotype, it is preferred that the expectation for
females’ foreign language test achievement, which
drives females’ motivation to perform well in tests
and indirectly encourages them to give consideration
to foreign language test strategies (Table 2).

Differences in Total Scores of
FLTA and Those of Each
Dimension
The average scores of FLTA in science and
engineering specialties are significantly higher than
those in liberal arts specialties (t = 2.214, p < 0.01).
Similarly, there are disparities in the scores of science
and engineering specialties and liberal arts specialties
in the four dimensions of emotion, behavior,
individual cognition, and physiological arousal. The
use of foreign languages by those who major in
science and engineering is lower than that of
freshmen majoring in liberal arts due to the
characteristics of their major, delivering a blow to
fewer opportunities for them to practice foreign
languages in daily life and further increasing their
FLTA. On the other hand, freshmen majoring in
liberal arts tend to pay attention to the
comprehensiveness and practicality of foreign
languages, while freshmen majoring in science and
engineering apply English to academic reading and
writing, ignoring the cultivation of other foreign
language abilities (Table 3).

5.4 The Relationship Between
Freshmen's FLTA and Foreign
Language Test Scores
The Pearson correlation coefficients of these
four dimensions and the total score of FLTA are
manifested in the following table 4, which has
passed the significance test at the significance
level of 0.05. Therefore, the analysis revealed an
inverse correlation between these variables, as
indicated by the statistical findings. It is found
that freshmen's FLTA score can be a prediction
of their foreign language test achievement. In
other words, the lower the score of FLTA is, the
greater the foreign language test achievement is,
thereby corroborating earlier research findings
(e.g., Tucker et al., 1976). However, some
scholars reported the facilitative anxiety in
foreign language contexts (e.g., Kleinmann,
1977), which counts on the difficulty of the
target task: when it is difficult, the negative
effects of anxiety are unavoidable. Over the
years, the average passing rate of college
students in CET-4 is 40%, indicating that its
difficulty, in which context excessive anxiety
will bring out negative effects on foreign
language test achievement.

5.5 Regression Analysis of The Total
Score of Foreign Language Test
Anxiety and Foreign Language Test
Scores
The explanation rate of foreign language anxiety (X)
to CET-4 scores (Y) was 7.2%, and the regression
coefficient of "foreign language anxiety" was -0.269,
which passed the significance test and was
significantly different from zero (p < 0.001). It is an
indication that the general FLTA has a significant
negative impact on the scores of CET-4, and the
influence coefficient is 0.269. Therefore, the single-
variable regression equation between overall foreign
language learning anxiety and CET-4 achievement
can be summarized as Y = 620.307-0.269X (Table 5).

6 DISCUSSION
The results showed that the average score of FLTA of
freshmen is 96.097 and is at a moderate level
generally. The scores of the aspects of emotion,
behavior, individual cognition, and physiological
arousal are different. Gender-based variations exist in
the level of FLTA experienced by freshmen, with
males demonstrating higher levels of anxiety
compared to females. Disparities in FLTA are
observed between freshmen majoring in science and
engineering versus those in liberal arts specialties,
with the former exhibiting higher than the latter.
There exists an inverse relationship between FLTA
and foreign language test achievement, indicating that
FLTA substantially compromise participants' test
scores.
Several methodological constraints should be
taken into consideration to facilitate more future
elaboration of this research domain. First, it needs to
be admitted that the limitations in terms of
demographic homogeneity across age groups,
educational levels, geographical distribution as well
as gender imbalance within the participant pool.
Therefore, the sample lacks comprehensive
generalizability across the broader spectrum of
Chinese foreign language learner population, thereby
restricting the potential for broader application of the
study's findings across varying educational settings
and demographic contexts. Second, there is little
analysis about factors such as emotion, behavior, and
so on that affect college students' FLTA. If not, it is
impossible that more constructive suggestions can be
offered for the strategies of foreign language tests.
Despite these methodological constraints, the
findings have both theoretical and pedagogical
implications. Considering the FLTA, this study
explains the performances and features of college
students foreign language test experiences and
further explores the correlation between these four
dimensions and foreign language test achievement.
Hence, it highlights that the prevalence of FLTA
among college students is compounded by the old
strategies of the foreign language tests. For teachers
and policymakers, the implementation of diversified
assessment frameworks in educational settings
should be prioritized as a fundamental task
necessitating the systematic exploration of multiple
evaluation approaches within instructional contexts.
For example, teachers can incorporate supplementary
assignments with incentive-based scoring systems
and increase the frequency of formative assessment
opportunities (Bensoussan, 2012). It is suggestive for
them to replace quantitative scoring mechanisms with
qualitative evaluation systems and allow college
students to be involved in the assessment design
process (Joy, 2013). For college students, it is
requisite and indispensable to have a firm grasp of the
essence and existence of FLTA. Its issue should be
recognized reasonably and discussed directly, which
effectively mitigate learners' anxiety by dispelling
prevalent misconceptions (Phillips, 1992).
7 CONCLUSION
FLTA plays a significant role in predicting foreign
language test performance, with its effects being
multifaceted and influenced by various factors. The
present study mainly focuses on the current situation
of freshmen’s FLTA and its relationship with foreign
language test achievement. The adapted
questionnaire and a quantitative method were used to
make analyses about the level of FLTA of
contemporary college students and to see whether
there is relationship between FLTA and performance.
The findings of this study revealed the current
situation that FLTA of college students is at the
middle level, and there were significant differences in
gender and major. This study also shows that FLTA
exerts a detrimental influence on assessment
outcomes, at least under similar circumstances, which
is undoubtedly a predictor of foreign language test
achievement. It indicates that elevated FLTA typically

correspond with diminished academic outcomes, and
vice versa. It suggests that alleviating FLTA will
potentially enhance the performances of the foreign
language tests to some extent. Consequently, different
individuals including teachers and college students
themselves should implement strategies to mitigate
the anxiety in order to enhance their foreign language
test achievements.
