Foreign Language Enjoyment and Anxiety:The effect of teacher and learner variables(IV)

VII Conclusion Our British secondary school learners reported significantly higher levels of FLE than FLCA,with a weak negative relationship between both.It confirms the observation that FLE does not represent the positive pole of some generic emotion dimension with anxiety at the negative pole.FLE and FLCA are independent emotion dimensions with a very small amount of overlap.This means that students could score high,or low,on both dimensions.The pedagogical implication is that teachers’attempts to reduce FLCA will not automatically boost student’FLE.
