• Foreign Language Anxiety: A Systematic Review (2019, background): “Similarly, Chen and Chang (2004) believe that foreign language anxiety is a perspective of situation-specific anxiety.”
• An Analysis of Student’s Speaking Anxiety and its Effect on Speaking Performance (2017, background): “It is believed that language anxiety can occur if students are exposed to several negative experiences in a foreign language context (Chen and Chang, 2004; Sparks et al., 2000).”
• Second Language Anxiety and Distance Language Learning (2009, unknown): “…negative relationships between anxiety and academic performance in foreign language learning (e.g., P. Bailey, Onwuegbuzie, & Daley, 2000; Chen & Chang, 2004; Horwitz, 2001; MacIntyre & Gardner, 1991; Phillips, 1992; Sparks & Ganschow, 2007; Young, 1999a).1 These negative correlations…”
• Foreign language anxiety of students studying English Language and Literature: A Sample from Turkey (2016, background): “Foreign language anxiety can occur if students are exposed to several negative experiences in a foreign language context (Chen and Chang, 2004; Sparks et al., 2000; Hewitt and Stephenson, 2012; Horwitz et al., 1986; Horwitz et al., 2010; MacIntyre and Gardner, 1991; MacIntyre, 1999; Saadi, 2009;…”
• Long-term relationships among early first language skills, second language aptitude, second language affect, and later second language proficiency (2009, background): “…Ganschow & Sparks, 1996; Ganschow et al., 1994; Sparks, Ganschow, Artzer, Siebenhar, & Plageman, Applied Psycholinguistics 30:4 729 Sparks et al.: Long-term L1–L2 relationships 1997), and that language variables account for a large part of the variance in predicting anxiety (Chen & Chang, 2004).”
• An Investigation of Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety and Its Relationship with Students' Achievement. (2010, background): “Apart from these factors, anxiety is also correlated with age (Bailey, et al., 2000), motivation (Yan, & Horwitz, 2008), emotional intelligence (Awan, Sabir & Iqbal, 2009), and with leaning difficulties (Chen & Chang, 2004).”
• A Review of Horwitz, Horwitz and Cope's Theory of Foreign Language Anxiety and the Challenges to the Theory (2011, background): “…no significant correlation between first language learning history and foreign language anxiety; that is, first language learning history is not the best predictor of foreign language anxiety (Chen & Chang, 2004; MacIntyre & Gardner, 1989, 1994a), which does not support Sparks and Ganschow’s LCDH.”
