After analyzing these articles, there are 19 articles utilizing the SLR technique, it demonstrates the way that few elements of language anxiety can be recognized into internal variables and external factors. These two aspects cannot be understated and may be linked. Despite this, it is not unheard of for the same things to cause different levels of anxiety. Language anxiety can be divided into internal and external factors, such as background, personality, English tests, inability to deliver ideas, L1 accent, mispronunciation, lack of English grammatical structure and vocabulary, inadequate preparation, lack of practice, and anxiety about making mistakes.
