Although it is always under debate that anxiety has been experienced by most learners in the
process of learning a foreign language, their culture is normally expected to help children
avoid such a psychological risk in their language classes regardless of their age. In this study
foreign language learning anxiety of Turkish children have been examined as a learning
barrier. For the study both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from six EFL
teachers and 544 students in randomly selected primary, secondary and high schools in
Ankara. The Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS), developed by Horwitz
et.al. (1986), was administered as the data collection tool. The internal reliability achieved an
alpha coefficient of 0.93 with all items producing significant corrected item total scale
correlations and test- retest reliability over 8 weeks yielded the correlation coefficient
0.83(p<.0001). The results of the study revealed that as Turkish children get older, their level
of anxiety rises too, and their culture of trust in their teachers and parents does not help them
overcome this kind of a learning barrier.
