The purpose of this study was to figure out the ways of preventing anxiety, help foreign language learners and English teachers to understand the reasons that cause learning anxiety and explore how anxiety influences foreign language learners' learning behavior and learning motivation. This qualitative research was conducted by seven interview questions and focused on Taiwanese college students' perspective and experiences in EFL context. The results indicated the anxiety impacts students' learning achievement.
