Foundations of Language Fear and Anxiety as Internal Communicative Barriers among L2 Learners at Graduation Level

Abstract

The sole objective of this research was to find out 'the sources of fear and anxiety as internal communicative barriers among L2 learners' and 'the impacts of fear and anxiety as internal communicative barriers.' Data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The majority of the foreign language learners responded that due to internal communicative barriers such as fear and anxiety, their foreign language communicative ability is badly disturbed as the effect of these two internal/affective factors increases, and the communicative ability of L2 learners of BS English decreases. On the contrary, as the influence of these factors decreases, the interactive communication of foreign language learners increases. Favourable teaching conditions and teachers' assistance are the only courses to overcome or minimize the injurious effect of these two internal hindrances.
