Speaking Anxiety, Mindfulness and Willingness to Communicate

Speaking is generally believed to be one of the most anxiety provoking language skills, especially in foreign language learning contexts. Speaking anxiety is related to several other factors such as mindfulness and willingness to communicate. This book is an attempt to investigate the nature of such relationships. Apart from a review of the related literature, it also includes the empirical analysis of the mentioned variables. This book may be useful for second/foreign language learners and teachers as well as researchers and materials developers.
