Abstract

L2 writing anxiety is a prevalent phenomenon. Second language writing anxiety is an important factor affecting the improvement of second language writing. This paper analyzes the two main sources that induce writing anxiety of L2 learners: students with writing anxiety generally have difficulty in expressing themselves in writing and have no writing habits; they lack self-confidence and have trouble in organizing and arranging ideas for content development. It is important for teachers to concern second language writing anxiety and realize its role in second language writing so that they can effectively adopt positive strategies to help students reduce their writing anxiety.
