The connection between affective factors and language learning has always been a critical issue and a matter of investigation in the field of foreign and second language learning. Anxiety in particular, has been identified as a significant factor which can negatively influence language learners’ communicative competence. The current study investigates foreign language anxiety among Kurdish EFL students and its consequences on their communicative performance. An investigative quantitative approach was used to conduct this study. A Total number of two hundred (200) EFL learners with different language proficiency levels from three different universities, University of Halabja and University of Sulaimani in Iraqi Kurdistan Region and University of Kurdistan / Iran, participated in this study. To obtain necessary information and data, a face-to-face assessment, in small groups of four (4) was conducted during students’ class time in which their communicative performance based on accuracy, fluency, vocabulary, and pronunciation was evaluated and recorded. Additionally, Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) questionnaire was adapted and the target population was requested to respond to the statements presented in the questionnaire. The findings of the research taken from a structural equation modelling (SEM) indicated that all components of communicative performance were in a negative and significant correlation with anxiety. |
