Anxiety, Undergraduate, English major, Krashen's comprehensible input hypothesis.Abstract
Continuous in-depth language research and the rapid development of language teaching deepen people's understanding of the nature of language. The focus of language teaching research for language workers is from how to teach to how to learn, from the learning result to the learning process; from the emphasis on teachers and teaching methods, the study gradually tends to the study of learners, learning strategies and emotions. However, in the daily language learning process, college students have serious anxiety in oral language learning. This study is based on Krashen's comprehensible input hypothesis to alleviate the oral anxiety of English majors. By means of questionnaire, this article gave the pre-designed questionnaire to the respondents for statistical summary and data analysis, so as to confirm the effect of comprehensible input on alleviating college students' oral anxiety.
