Increasing globalisation has opened up a broad space for worldwide communication, and English academic writing has become the norm in a globalised educational context. As a way of exploring the world 1 , academic writing in English has become increasingly important, but the phenomenon of anxiety in it has not been closely examined. In this essay, taking the Foreign language anxiety (FLA) as an entry point, I will sort a range of literature through a review of existing situations of academic writing anxiety and point out the gap in research. Finally, some possible suggestions for postgraduate in journalism and communication will be presented. As a whole, the essay attempts to open up a conversation that English academic writing anxiety of Chinese postgraduates in journalism and communication should be given wider attention.
