Abstract

It is undeniable that English has become the most popular foreign language in Vietnam. Of the essential skills in learning a foreign language, listening is often considered as the most difficult skill. This study aimed to find out how anxiety affects students in taking the listening tests. Data were collected from ten English majors from Tay Do University. The researcher used six open-ended questions to find out whether the students had difficulty in taking the listening test due to their anxiety. The results showed that students majoring in English were often worried and nervous in the listening tests. Test anxiety also resulted in students’ other physical symptoms such as a racing heartbeat, handshaking, lightheadedness, and even nausea. In the worse situations, these symptoms led the students to the bad results and losing motivation. Through this research, a few suggestions were given to help the students to overcome such negative emotions in the listening test or exam.
