Definition of Anxiety
Based on Cutrone (2009: 56) anxiety is a the
apprehension experienced when
a situation requires
the use of a
second language with
which the individual
is not fully
proficient. Some of the symptoms
include nervousness, tension, apprehension, and introversion.
Lejla B (2011: 4) Anxiety is
explained as a sort of fear that is manifested by visual signs, an abnormal and
overwhelming sense of apprehension and fear often marked by physiological signs
(as sweating, tension, and increased pulse), by doubt concerning the reality
and nature of the threat, and by self-doubt about one's capacity to cope with
it.
Wilson (2006: 69) Anxiety is a
distinct set of beliefs, perceptions, and feelings in response to foreign
language learning in the classroom and not merely a composite of other
anxieties and that anxious students feel uniquely enable to deal with the task
of language learning.
Marzec (2012: 221) anxiety is a
multidimensional phenomenon, mostly of debilitative nature, conceptualized it
in a model including three independent components: cognitive, physiological
(somatic) and behavioral.
Being nervous, stressed or
forming negative expectations of one’s performance are typical cognitive
symptoms of apprehension. Physiological consequences make students suffer from
upset stomach, experience excessive perspiration or blushing and feel their
heart pounding. Behavioral symptoms can be observed in one’s tendency for
withdrawal, procrastination and avoidance.
