Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the anxiety of Korean learners and to find correlation with the achievement test in Korean learning. This study was conducted based on the data of 934 students of Korean language institutes in Korea collected by questionnaire. Statistical analysis revealed that learning anxiety had a negative effect on the achievement test in Korean language learning. The results of the sub-factors of the learning anxiety showed the highest level of anxiety about communication, followed by anxiety about negative reaction, anxiety about evaluation and grades, and anxiety due to class environment. There was a statistically significant difference of anxiety between the low-achievement learners and the high-achievement learners. In particular, it was found that the anxiety due to the classroom environment and the anxiety about the evaluation and grade greatly influenced the achievement test. (Korea University)
