Anxiety and Foreign Language Learning: Analysis of students’ anxiety towards Foreign language learning

Education is seen as a significant tool for assisting pupils in changing their behavior in accordance with their requirements and societal expectations. Anxiety and attitude among students are seen as necessary components of learning, and as a result, they play a significant role in second language acquisition. The major goal of this research is to look at the elements that influence students' anxiety when learning a language at Erbil's private universities. Students' anxiety was measured using a quantitative research method, which included dread of unfavorable assessment, communication apprehension, and exam anxiety. The researcher adapted and adjusted a survey developed by prior academics and was able to collect the essential data. The researcher was able to collect 92 surveys that were properly completed. To assess each of the research hypotheses, multiple regression analysis was used. The results of this study demonstrated that students' fear of negative anxiety was associated with a higher degree of anxiety when it came to learning a language, while students' test anxiety was associated with a lower value among other variables.
