Abstract: English is the co-official language of India and the diversified nature of the country makes it imperative for the people to know English language even to communicate within the country. There are more than 30 regional languages spoken in India and English has become a kind of link language. In addition to this, English, in India, is required to get good jobs and promotions. This demand makes the students anxious and leads to English Language anxiety. In the Indian context, English also determines, to a large extent, the status of the people. People who speak good English are considered more educated and intelligent. English Language anxiety has a very debilitating effect on the performance of the students especially in spoken English. When the students are not able to perform well in terms of speaking; they become more anxious and lose confidence. This lack of confidence further sways them away from language learning. It has been observed that such students start refraining from even participating in conversations and discussions. The present paper aims at investigating the relationship between English language anxiety and the communicative performance of the learners. Finally, the study will make pedagogical recommendations in order to alleviate the English language anxiety of the students.
