“…Regarding the objectives of the 19 studies included, 12 (Behnke & Sawyer, 2000; Benke & Sawyer, 2001; Carrilo et al, 2001; Egloff et al 2002; Gonzalez-Bono et al, 2002; Carrilo et al 2003; Zohar et al 2003; Croft et al 2004; Gruenewal et al 2004; Jezova et al 2004; Schwerdtfeger, 2004; Vassend & Knardahl, 2005) proposed the evaluation of the relations between physiological, subjective and language parameters and the anxiety induced by the typical situation of public speaking (physiological x subjective measurements subset). Some of these studies also tried to determine the correlations existing between these parameters and gender (N = 2) (Behnke & Sawyer, 2000; Carrilo et al 2001) and the affective and personality characteristics of the subjects (N = 3) (Carrilo et al 2003; Gruenewal et al 2004).…”

“…The predominant age range was 20 to 30 years. Regarding gender, 10 studies (Behnke & Sawyer, 2000; Carrilo et al, 2001; Hazlett-Stevens & Borkovic, 2001; Sawyer & Behnke, 2002; Addison et al 2003; Zohar et al 2003; Croft et al 2004; Gruenewal et al 2004; Kopecky et al 2004; Schwerdtfeger, 2004) worked with both sexes, five only with female volunteers (Egloff et al 2002; Gonzalez-Bono et al, 2002; Carrilo et al 2003; Mauss et al 2003; Vassend & Knardahl, 2005), three (Benke & Sawyer, 2001; Jezova et al 2004; Hofmann et al 2005) only with male volunteers, and one did not provide gender information (Savitsky & Gilovich, 2003). The gender variable, considered to be of relevance and to have specific influences on the profile of anxiety according to the literature, represented a focal point of interest in these studies or was used as an inclusion/exclusion criterion.…”

“…This finding confirms experimental studies that considered the gender variable in the methodological design ( did not include at least three phases of the procedure or that focused only on specific moments of the study the results agreed with those previously discussed in the model more commonly adopted. Because of their specificity, we wish to emphasize the results of the study by Zohar et al (2003), the only one that evaluated the linguistic aspects related to public speaking anxiety. The authors observed that an increased level of experimental anxiety implied a lower proportion of speech elaboration, fluency and coherence, denoting a lower linguistic efficacy in addition to favoring a negative hetero-evaluation of performance.…”

The objective of the present study was to identify articles related to experimental models for the evaluation of public speaking anxiety published in the literature from January 2000 to July 2006 and to analyze them regarding the designs proposed. The absence of a single model of evaluation was detected. Analysis revealed sensitivity of the model for the characterization of the role of the different patterns of anxiety present in the disorders studied. There was unanimous recognition of the sensitivity of the experimental model for the evaluation of anxiety in different phases, which ratifies its use in different contexts of clinical-experimental investigation.

“…The FLE scale, first proposed by Dewaele and MacIntyre (2016), has remained the most widely accepted method for assessing FLE. Researchers have considered the indispensability of positive emotions to balance research material that has explored the role of negative emotions, particularly linguistic anxiety (Zohar, Livne, & Fine, 2003). Negative and positive emotions, according to Cao (2014) and Sparks and Patton (2013), are prominent individual characteristics that influence classroom interactions.…”

As evidenced by recent studies in the fields of positive psychology and psycholinguistics, learners’ emotions and thoughts while learning a second language are believed to generate sophisticated and dynamic linkages that contribute to their motivational as well as linguistic outcomes. This study aims to evaluate foreign language gaiety (FLG) and foreign language apprehension (FLA) as determinants of the ideal second language (L2) self for Saudi EFL learners. The basic research question that this study attempts to answer is: “What is the impact of EL elation and apprehension on PSAU learners’ ideal L2 self?” An online survey incorporating the three scales in question was completed by 116 EFL male and female students at Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University (PSAU) in the College of Science and Humanities (CSH). To examine the reliability of this research study, the Cronbach Alpha value of ≥ 0.70 is regarded as reliable and acceptable. The study results showed a strong positive correlation between the PSAU EFL learners’ EF Gaiety and their ideal L2 self. Further, there was a strong negative correlation between the PSAU EFL learners’ FL Apprehension and their ideal L2 self. The study concluded that PSAU EFL learners do not enjoy studying English as a foreign language. Their ideal L2 self is tremendously affected by the high rates of apprehension and the low degrees of EF gaiety.

Anxiety is an affective variable that impacts learning negatively by impeding cognitive progress. Anxiety is associated with learners' individual differences such as beliefs, attitudes, expectations, motivation, and emotions. It has been determined in many studies that anxiety affects language learning negatively and interferes with many types of learning. The purpose of this study is to develop a measurement tool that will determine the level of anxiety students experience or may experience during the learning process of grammar. The population of the study consists of Turkish Language Teaching students receiving education in the academic year of 2019-2020. The sample of the study comprised of 328 participants who were selected by the random sampling method among the students studying at public university in Turkey. When scale score ranges are examined, it is seen that high scores indicate high anxiety, and low scores indicate low anxiety. It was verified as a result of the analysis that the sub-factors of the scale are the components of this structure, which is called grammar anxiety, and that they form the determined structure together. It was concluded that the model and goodness of fit indices are at acceptable levels. The scale sub-factors of Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency coefficient were .92 for "emphasis on grammar learning", .87 for "learner beliefs" and .88 for "grammar learning experience". The internal consistency coefficient obtained for the whole scale was determined as .92. The obtained values also show that this scale is a reliable measurement tool for measuring grammar anxiety.
