Anxiety, characterized by worry and emotional reactions, can significantly affect learning.

This research explores the impact of anxiety on the willingness to communicateamong Iranian eighth-grade EFL students in a private school in Tehran. Observations andinterviews were conducted with twenty students and two teachers. The data analysis from theseobservations revealed that most students were hesitant to engage in English class activities, withonly an average of ۱۰% expressing a willingness to participate in all observational categories. Theinterview results indicated that anxiety negatively influenced students' willingness to communicatein class. Factors contributing to increased anxiety included fear of making mistakes, fear ofcriticism from peers and teachers, and fear of negative evaluations by teachers. Additionally,cultural beliefs about participating actively or speaking in public were identified as sources ofanxiety.
