- Abstract
This study revalidated the dimensional structure of the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale(FLCAS) by exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis and eliminated the problematic items and repetitive items, thus reconstructed the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale. The new scale has a total of 21 items, including three dimensions: communication anxiety, academic anxiety and class anxiety. The reliability and validity of the new scale are both high.
