INVESTIGATING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LANGUAGE SKILLS ANXIETY AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING APTITUDE AMONG IRANIAN EFL LEARNERS
Abstract
This study aims to investigate the relationship between language skills anxiety and foreign language learning aptitude among Iranian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Language skills anxiety refers to the feeling of apprehension or fear experienced by learners when using different language skills, such as speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Foreign language learning aptitude, on the other hand, refers to the innate ability or potential of learners to acquire and develop proficiency in a foreign language. The study utilized a quantitative research design and collected data from a sample of Iranian EFL learners using validated measures of language skills anxiety and foreign language learning aptitude. The findings of the study provide insights into the relationship between language skills anxiety and foreign language learning aptitude among Iranian EFL learners and contribute to our understanding of the factors that influence language learning outcomes.
