 note = {application/pdf, Although the phenomenon of foreign language anxiety has been widely recognized as some kind of mental block against language learning by teachers and researchers as well as learners themselves, it is not until recently that more refined and focused attention has been paid to the conceptual base of the term, ""foreign language anxiety"" or more simply ""language anxiety"" (MacIntyre, 1999). This report, thus, provides a review of current developments in the field of language anxiety research, while outlining the theoretical background for conceptualizing anxiety as relevant to second language learning and its contexts. In the sections to follow, a variety of interpretations pertaining to the complex and multidimensional nature of language anxiety will be illustrated and discussed, with particular emphasis on socio-psychological and cross-cultural aspects of the phenomenon. This paper will also address some of the critical issues that surround the current research on language anxiety, especially in the ways that would suggest the necessity of a more holistic approach from a variety of perspectives, so that further understanding of the phenomenon can be attained as a further research prospect.},
