A Study on Oral Anxiety in Foreign Language Classes

Abstract

Due to the development of globalization, people have higher and higher requirements for foreign language learning, and oral expression has become a difficult problem faced by many students. Oral anxiety has also appeared in many foreign language learning classes. This paper studies students' oral anxiety in foreign language classrooms. This paper first analyzes the origin and influence of language anxiety, and then discusses the forms of classroom oral anxiety and its influence in depth and detail, and discusses the influencing factors of oral anxiety from the aspects of subjective and objective factors. It is found that individual differences, learning motivation, self-evaluation, cultural background and values can form oral anxiety, which harms students' foreign language use and mental health. This study also tries to put forward some countermeasures to relieve international students' oral English anxiety in class, such as changing self-cognition, improving self-evaluation, establishing learning motivation, and jointly coping with and reducing oral English anxiety with teachers and schools.
