Abstract

A lack of English language proficiency creates a debilitating impact on the academic performance of the students and people with limited knowledge in English experience a lack of confidence and low self-esteem. There are several factors which are responsible for English language anxiety which is existent among student communities all over the world. Secondary research has been performed to find out the relevant reasons. Language learners all over the world experience apprehension, nervousness, anxiety and anguish while learning any new language. Anxiety basically originates from cultural differences in the target language, learner's poor cognitive skills, and his limitations. This anxiety among students impacts the teacher's teaching abilities and goals and inversely affects the teacher's confidence and performance targets.
