Abstract :The aim of this study is to examine the effect of anxiety level on foreign language success and to examine the level of anxiety in terms of various variables in learning Turkish as a foreign language. Descriptive analysis and measurement by scanning was used. Anxiety levels of students learning Turkish as a foreign language were examined in terms of various variables. \"Foreigners\' Turkish Learning Anxiety Scale\" was applied. In conclusion; Anxiety is an effective factor in learning Turkish as a foreign language. While sufficient level of anxiety facilitates learning, high level of anxiety makes learning difficult. As a new concept, we can call it motivational anxiety. Anxiety levels of students do not differ significantly according to gender, country and time they live. When the anxiety levels of the students learning Turkish as a foreign language are examined according to the variable of the number of languages they know, there is a significant difference in favor of those who speak 4 languages or more. Since the majority of the students are at a moderate level in terms of both academic and self-esteem, it is thought that a moderate level of anxiety will contribute to success.
