The present study employed both a quantitative and a qualitative study. It found that English listening anxiety affected most of the subjects in the test and that there was a significantly negative correlation between subjects’ English listening anxiety levels and their test performance. The interviews further confirmed that the environmental factors, self-perceived foreign language listening competence, fear of failing the listening course, and beliefs about language learning were reported as four major factors leading to English listening anxiety. This was a correlational study and it was likely that foreign language anxiety and language learning were mutually reinforcing; therefore, it will help students with their learning if the teachers help them foster a positive self-image and right beliefs about language learning.
