Summary/Abstract: The study aims to analyse the relationship of socio-biographical variables (gender, language proficiency) and generalized anxiety with the foreign-language learning anxiety of 210 adolescents and young adults. Data analyses revealed that higher levels of general anxiety correspond to significantly higher foreign-language learning anxiety scores. A higher level of proficiency in foreign language was linked to lower levels of foreign-language anxiety. The study is a part of research projects VEGA 1/0409/17 and KEGA 060UK-4/2017.
