Abstract
Learning anxiety has negative effects on learners� behavior, attitude and achievement in active learning. Active learning requires learners to learn actively, and to cooperate with others effectively with the aim to accomplish a specific goal. In an active leaning situation, it is anticipated that learners might feel uneasy or fearful not only about the learning process and their achievement but also communicating and cooperating with others. However, few studies have focused on both of the aspects of learners� anxiety. This study purposed to identify learners� anxiety in active learning situations. As a result, 12 anxiety statements were identified as items for anxiety in active learning, and the 12 items were classified into four clusters: �communication anxiety,� �achievement anxiety,� �preparation anxiety,� and �cooperation anxiety�.
