摘要：Anxiety is one of the most important factors that affects language learners either positively or negatively in the language classrooms. Many research studies have been conducted in order to find the types, symptoms, causes of, reasons for and solutions to language learning anxiety. In addition, many books have been written to introduce foreign language learning anxiety. Dr. Nadia Idri presents another research study conducted in Algeria over a period of three months entitled “Fear of Negative Evaluation in an EFL Setting : An Algerian Case Study ”. It introduces a comprehensive analysis of anxiety as an affective factor in language learning. The author gives the aim of the study as “analyzing fear of negative evaluation (FNE) as a component of language anxiety which is an educational problem and, thus, finding out its causes and influences on learning EFL in our defined population (p. 112).” As far as research studies on foreign language anxiety of Asian students are concerned, Table 3 (p. 116) summarizes recent studies in a comprehensive manner. The flowchart (Figure 11, p. 92) displays symptoms of fear of negative evaluation in detail. The ideas in the book are also supported by a case study which was done in Algeria.
