Abstract

Language is a means of communication, which is essential to human existence. Learning a language produces a range of feelings with both positive and negative implications. These feelings have a crucial role in the acquisition and success of second languages (L2). In many languages, boredom is described as a person-environment interaction between an unstimulating or restrictive circumstance and an individual's characteristic experience of constraint, restlessness, or lethargy. The sources of this feeling are foreign language classroom boredom, under-challenging task boredom, PowerPoint presentation boredom, homework boredom, teacher-dislike boredom, general learning trait boredom, and over-challenging or meaningless task boredom. Anxiety is a common human feeling that includes dread and doubt and that it typically arises when a person feels as though their self-worth is under jeopardy, and it prevents people from thinking normally. The sources of this feeling are communication apprehension, test anxiety, and fear of negative evaluation. The level of boredom and anxiety are low, moderate, and high. The present study aimed to know the sources of boredom and anxiety, the level of boredom and anxiety, and whether there was any significant correlation between was any significant correlation between boredom and anxiety in English language learning.
