- Abstract
Using the second language writing anxiety scale, this study investigated the English writing anxiety of 110 non-English majors from two universities in Guangdong Province by means of questionnaires and interviews, and analyzed the anxiety differences from the perspective of gender and major. The results show that non-English majors’ English argumentative writing anxiety is at a moderate level, and girls’ anxiety is higher than boys’ anxiety, while science and Engineering Majors’ anxiety is higher than literature and History Majors’ anxiety. According to the above data and interviews, this paper also analyzes the causes of anxiety and puts forward the corresponding solutions.
