60、wer even simple questions about the topic being studied in class,it is clear that the student is not learning well,and teachers may wonder why.One of the causes might be language anxiety.Language anxiety is a fear occurring when a learner is expected to perform in the foreign language.That is,when a
61、 student is asked to perform in the target language in class,he is likely to become nervous and fail to do it.The good news is that so far some research has suggested language anxiety can make students focused,get good grades and build up high self-confidence.Despite these benefits most research has
62、 also shown a negative(负面的) relationship between language anxiety and performance.The negative kind of anxiety harms learners performance in many ways.As time goes by,they will doubt themselves,refuse to join in discussions and try to avoid using the language.Teachers and researchers might sometimes
63、 be able to judge language anxiety through measuring scales(评价量表).There are a number of scales,the best known of which is called the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale or FLCAS.The FLCAS was developed to measure the specific anxiety reaction of a student to a foreign language situation.However
64、,this is not recommended,because researchers consider that language anxiety is observable in class.To help students to deal more effectively with language anxiety,teachers are advised to allow students to perform differently according to their own abilities.More importantly,teachers ought to provide
65、 various opportunities for classroom success in the language.In this way,students can be freed from the pain of severe language anxiety.Gradually they will become more and more confident of their language abilities and eventually experience what it means to succeed in the language classroom.参考范文When
66、 using a foreign language in class,learners may experience language anxiety.Research has shown it does more harm to learners in many aspects in spite of its benefits.To its credit,language anxiety can be observed without the use of scales/FLCAS.Therefore,teachers should welcome different performances and attach more importance to offering chances for students to feel success.
