Sažetak
This paper discusses the results of a research study focusing on foreign language
anxiety and listening comprehension in learning English as a foreign language (EFL).
The study was carried out on a sample of 56 monolingual and 56 bilingual Croatian
learners of EFL. The results point to significantly higher levels of language anxiety
among monolingual than among bilingual learners in all three stages of the foreign
language learning process, and significantly higher levels of listening comprehension
of bilingual learners compared to monolingual learners. A significant negative relationship
between language anxiety and achievement in EFL listening comprehension
was established in both of the studied groups.
