چکیده (انگلیسی):

The anxiety for EFL learners that accompanies the listening comprehension (LC) task is difficult to detect,
but potentially one of the most debilitating, because in order to interact verbally the listener must first understand
what is being said. With the instructional emphasis on input processing, LC anxiety merits closer examination. This
study investigated the correlation between Anxiety and listening comprehension skill among Iranian EFL learners. At
first, a modified version of Comprehensive English Language Test was administered to a group of 82 students to
determine their homogeneity as well as to assess their language proficiency. In the next phase of the study Foreign
Language listening Anxiety Scale (FLLAS) was modified. In the last phase of the study, the students were given a listening
comprehension test consisting of two lectures to measure the listening comprehension of students. This test was
designed to examine the relationship between foreign language listening anxiety and listening comprehension. The
result shows anxiety and listening comprehension in English are correlated negatively.
