Book excerpt: "The research questions for this Action Research Capstone based upon the literature review are: 1) How does Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety relate to the Interpersonal, Interpretive and Presentational Modes of language learning including the specific language skills of Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking? 2) What methods are most effective in reducing FLCA for [beginning and intermediate high school] second language students?"--Leaf 13. "The investigation has resulted in three major conclusions based upon the data collected. The data shows that FLCA exists for the majority of students at some point during language learning process. The student can experience FLCA based upon a wide variety of factors, including skill assignments and academic relationships. Language anxieties are often related to language learning skills and students may experience these anxieties based upon student personality, the lack of preparedness, the skill itself, the complexity of the skill assignment, negative academic relationships and more. With support, students can identify FLCA and develop strategies to alleviate the anxieties associated with language learning skills"--Leaf 43.
