Abstract

As a widely accepted and used standard for assessing English language proficiency around the world, IELTS plays an important role in applying for foreign universities or immigration. Through in-depth interviews with four Chinese students, this study found that they commonly exhibited symptoms of learning anxiety such as in-somnia, poor concentration and concern about examiner marking. The study also explored the main factors contributing to learning anxiety, including examiner marking, language proficiency, and time pressure. The findings of this study pro-vide insights into understanding and supporting Chinese students’ learning anxiety in relation to the IELTS writing test.
