The
Nature of Anxiety
Broadly
speaking, anxiety is a state of unease, a kind of troubled feeling in the mind
marked by excessive uneasiness according to Melouah (2013; 65) Among the
several affective factors which influence foreign language learning in general
and speaking in specific, anxiety appears as a crucial factor that often
affects students oral production in the foreign language they are required to
use. This construct accounts for various phenomena like students unwillingness
to participate in the speaking classrooms, and sadly even for their low
performance and achievement. Foreign language students who exhibit speaking
anxiety do not feel at ease when required to perform in the target language.
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.
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.
