- ItemThe influence of communication apprehension on the process of learning a foreign language(Technická univerzita v Liberci, Česká republika, 2017) Smejkalová, Kateřina; Smejkal, Josef; Juráčková, KateřinaThe aim of this study is to explain the term “communication apprehension” that has not yet been precisely defined in Czech professional literature. After the appropriate terminology is defined, in its first part the article focuses on the analysis of the communication barrier perceived by students. In relation with this analysis and on the base of teachers´ experience showing that students take a rather passive approach to learning foreign languages, in its empirical part, the authors of the article concentrate on the question whether the level of communication apprehension experienced by individuals when communicating in their mother tongue may influence their learning a foreign language.
