Onwuegbuzie et al. (1999) examined foreign language anxiety as a predictor of foreign language achievement. They performed a multiple-regression analysis and included other predictor variables including academic achievement, perceived scholastic competence, and perceived self-worth. They found â = - 0.39 for foreign language anxiety. What does this mean?

People with lower levels of anxiety about learning a foreign language have higher levels of achievement in foreign language.
