Abstract
This paper investigates language anxiety, a complex phenomenon specific to the language learning context that has been extensively researched over the last few decades. More specifically, the paper deals with the appearance of language anxiety in undergraduate and graduate English majors at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses of the findings presented in this paper have led to numerous interesting conclusions, confirming that language anxiety in foreign language majors is a topic worth exploring, especially since it was proven that the participants’ levels of language anxiety significantly correlated with the independent variables of gender, length of study, achievement, and self-perception of competence.
