Ansiedad ante el aprendizaje del inglés como idioma extranjero y percepción de las actitudes del maestro de inglés en estudiantes salvadoreños de educación secundaria

The relationship between student anxiety about learning English and his/her perception of teacher’s attitude was analyzed in a private school in Quezaltepeque, El Salvador, in a descriptive, correlational, non-experimental and cross-sectional study. Eighty-six high school students participated and two instruments were used, the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) and a subscale of Perception of Attitudes of the English Teacher. The results of the study show a medium level of anxiety. The perception of the attitude of the English teacher also obtained an average level.
