Some of the research findings show a difference in performance of anxious and less anxious students. It is inferred from the studies that students with less tension/nervousness/ learn the target language successfully whereas students with high degree of anxiety perform poorly. In this regard, research studies of MacIntyre and Gardner (1989) indicated that anxious students learned a list of vocabulary items at a slower rate and they also felt more difficulty to recall previously vocabulary items than those of less anxious students. Simultaneously, Steinberg and Horwitz (1986) investigated the effects of anxiety on the content of descriptions of TAT pictures provided in the second language. The results revealed that students who were more anxious seemed to be less interpretative in commenting on the ambiguous scenes than students who were less anxious.
