Summary/Abstract: Despite the fact that the globalised world of the 21st century offers numerous possibilities to non-native speakers of a foreign language to use it every day, speaking is still considered as one of the most stressful and anxiety-provoking skills by foreign language learners. The main aim of this work is to offer a closer perspective on foreign language speaking anxiety and its causes among non-native language speakers. We offer a meta-analysis of 10 studies, which especially focus on factors that affect foreign language learners so that they feel anxious when speaking a foreign language.
