| description | The purpose of this article is to investigate the causes of foreign language and reading anxiety and to show solutions to overcome this problem. When examined from Google Scholar and other sources, many studies have been done on writing, speaking, and listening anxiety. So it was decided to make a study about reading anxiety too. This study contains answers to the questions of what anxiety is, foreign language anxiety, and reading anxiety. The reasons and solutions for these two anxieties are investigated. Foreign language anxiety (FLA) is a common phenomenon experienced by language learners when they encounter situations in which they must communicate in a language other than their first language. Reading anxiety is a common issue that affects many individuals, and it can have a negative impact on reading performance, learning, and retention of information. As a result of the research, it has been revealed that the main causes of Foreign Language and Reading Anxiety are lack of confidence, learning disabilities, lack of interest, and language barriers. |
