Abstract
The purposes of this study were: 1) to investigate classroom activities (CA) experienced by high and low academic performance teacher students in the language classroom, and used by them in the practicing process of teaching, 2) to explore the level of language anxiety in the high and low academic performance groups before employing CA in their practicing process of teaching, 3) to investigate the level of language anxiety in the high and low academic performance groups after employing CA in their practicing process of teaching, 4) to compare levels of 1) language anxiety in the two groups of teacher students before employing CA in the practicing process of teaching and 2) language anxiety in the two groups of teacher students after employing CA in the practicing process of teaching, and 5) to find the relationship between CA and language anxiety among RU teacher students. In this study, the sample was 186 teacher students majoring in English at four Rajabhat universities. The subjects were selected by simple random sampling.
