The four individual  case analyses in this book illustrate that anxiety  is a symptom of identity conflict, dependent on  contextual factors and is always fluctuating. Such  a view of anxiety is rarely present in existing  literature. The findings also show that various  social factors made the students experience  identity conflict during the SA programme, which in  turn caused anxiety and so impaired their access to  social interactions in English, hindering their  English learning while abroad. Hence the SA trip  has minimal impact on students'' English language  learning in general and on reducing their anxiety  in particular. This book thus raises questions in  the field of SLA regarding the benefits of SA trips  in enhancing language learning and\/or how such  trips may be improved to benefit students more.  Such questions on the merits of SA programmes again  have rarely been discussed in previous SLA  research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838392967\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Case Study of Taiwanese University Students on a Study Abroad Programme\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838392967","offer_id":39499028529245,"sku":"9783838392967","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/54b80bcb-57a7-474f-950c-88a465ac5c82.jpg?v=1775194247","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/anxiety-in-english-language-learning-von-yu-chi-wang","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
