Fear of negative evaluation as an explanation of learner apprehension or anxiety

needs elaboration. In the consciousness of the learner, the negative evaluation may

of inadequate proficiency in the language combined with a fear that others woud
poorly appraise one over such inadequacy impedes or stops communication (Jones,
2013)
