Abstract

The study is aimed at investigating the nature of anxiety experienced by university ELT major undergraduate students; a representative number of 60 students from the ELT department at Cyprus University (pseudonym) in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) participated. The quantitative data for the study was collected using two universally used instruments, the foreign language classroom anxiety scale (FLCAS) and the foreign language reading anxiety scale (FLRAS). A quantitative approach was adopted for the study and the data obtained was statistically analysed using SPSS version 25. The general findings of the study indicate that the general foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA) is slightly higher than the foreign language reading anxiety (FLRA) as experienced by the students. In addition, it shows no significant difference between ages in both FLCA and FLRA. Finally, it equally shows that there is no statistical difference between male and female in both FLCA and FLRA.
