As such, the analysis of the student GBM found that in general, the students were aware of the existence of FLA. Deeper analysis of the students’ interview transcripts corroborated this finding. Most of the students interviewed perceived that FLA was widespread. Most of them considered FLA as a serious problem, mainly in regard to the importance of English in society. A few students who did not consider FLA to be serious either did not care about EFL learning or supposed that students were clear about their goals, thus being better able to concentrate on EFL learning and thereby reducing their anxiety accordingly.
