Attitude and motivation play a fundamental and complementary role in the learning process of any ... more Attitude and motivation play a fundamental and complementary role in the learning process of any foreign language acquisition. Correspondingly, Previous studies have indicated that learners' high attitude and motivation always help them acquire foreign languages efficiently. However, the present study investigated whether Arab learners are integratively or instrumentally motivated to learn Chinese as a foreign language in China. Likewise, how attitude could affect their learning. 271 Arab learners from 10 different nationalities participated in this study. The study was a mixed-methods design, and data were collected through a questionnaire then followed by semi-structured interviews. Descriptive statistics analysis, means and standard deviations using SPSS 25 were employed to analyse collected data. The findings of this study revealed that Arab learners have positive attitudes and motivations to learn Chinese language. Additionally, they were a bit high integratively motivated ...
Debilitating anxiety is a psychological and mental barrier that blocks foreign language learners ... more Debilitating anxiety is a psychological and mental barrier that blocks foreign language learners from acquiring the foreign language and might lead to having bad outcomes. While on the other hand, facilitating anxiety plays a strong predictor in language achievement over time, and it might lead to having positive outcomes on learners' motives and attitudes. Thus, the primary purpose of this review is to explore the existing literature on foreign language anxiety. Second, to give further details on its relationship with other variables, and also its types. Finally, it clarifies the causes of language anxiety and how it affects language learners' abilities.
