Why is it important?
EFL reading anxiety accounts for students’ poor performance in EFL reading. The value of the EFLRAI lies with its ability to help reading educators know in what contexts EFL reading anxiety occurs and act accordingly.
Perspectives
The EFLRAI is a potentially valid and reliable measure and can be used for non-English majors in tertiary education. The EFLRAI can be of great use to educational institutions, practicing instructors, and those who participate in in-serve training programs. The EFLRAI can help reading anxiety researchers avoid the “valid-test” fallacy—a problem that occurs when we elicit information on language learning behavior .
