| Abstract: |
Foreign language anxiety (FLA) has been identified as one of the major obstacles to acquisition and fluent production of foreign languages (Dewaele, Petrides, & Furham, 2008; Williams & Andrade, 2008). A lot of research has been conducted on the topic of FLA (e.g., Horwitz, Horwitz, & Cope, 1986) and students who study abroad (e.g., Davidson, 2010; Kinginger, 2008), but there have been very few studies that focus on the relationship between studying abroad and affective factors such as language learning anxiety (e.g., Allen & Herron, 2003; Lee, 2018; Thompson & Lee, 2014). This study analyses the profiles of study abroad learners of Arabic as a foreign language (AFL) in Morocco. A total of 146 American students answered the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS; Horwitz et al, 1986) and completed a background questionnaire to collect information regarding their amount of experience abroad. Findings showed that participants experienced an average level of FLA. The main factors underlying FLA were Arabic class performance anxiety and negative feelings towards Arabic. Suggestions about the best strategies to reduce anxiety are offered. |
