Abstract EN
This study aimed at investigating Al- Quds Open University learners level of anxiety.
Also, the study investigated whether anxiety levels are influenced by gender or educational level.
The study was carried out on a random sample that consisted of 52 students.
For data collection, the researcher adopted FLCAS by Horwitz (1986), as it is the most commonly used to measure language learning anxiety.
Results revealed that QOU students are anxious when they have to speak with native speakers.
In addition, results indicated that QOU students, especially females, are more anxious when attending an EFL classroom.
Moreover, no significant differences were found due to the educational level variable.
Some recommendations and pedagogical implications were proposed
