contents Test Anxiety in the Foreign Language Learning Context: A Theoretical Framework Ferdane Denkci Akkaş Selami Aydın Asiye Baştürk Beydilli Tülin Türnük İlknur Saydam Educación language test anxiety English as a foreign theoretical framework While test anxiety is a strong predictor that affects the achievement and proficiency in the foreign language learning process, how it relates to the current theories and hypotheses remains an unanswered question. In addition, while test anxiety within the scope of descriptive and correlational studies is an issue that has attracted researchers, its theoretical background is mostly ignored. Thus, this paper aims to present a theoretical framework of test anxiety in the foreign language learning context. For this purpose, the paper first introduces the terms, definitions, concepts, theories, and hypotheses concerning test anxiety. Then, the paper focuses on foreign language anxiety. Finally, it presents a theoretical background for test anxiety in a narrower scope. The paper concludes that more research is warranted, whereas teachers need to be trained to moderate the effects of test anxiety among foreign language learners. 2020 artículo científico 2687-5381 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=688975842002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6889 Focus on ELT Journal application/pdf Yildiz Teknik Üniversitesi Focus on ELT Journal (Turquía) Num.1 Vol.2
