“…In the late 1990s, a number of FL anxiety scales were developed to measure the language‐skill‐specific anxiety commonly found in FL writing (FLRAS, e.g., Cheng et al., ), reading (FLRAS, e.g., Saito et al., ), and listening (FLLAS, e.g., Elkhafaifi, ; Kim, ). These skill‐specific anxiety scales have been found to measure constructs that are not only different from the general FL classroom anxiety (Cheng et al., ; Elkhafaifi, ; Saito et al., ) but also distinguishable from each other (Pae, ; Xiao & Wong, ), suggesting that FL anxiety can arise from various FL learning contexts.…”
