The purpose of this study is to find out if there is a correlation between the anxiety of a foreign language in nursing students and their performance in an oral examination, and if it exists, how strong is that correlation. It also aims to examine the effect that different levels of anxiety have on students' oral test scores and how students feel during the test. Sixteen nursing students participated in the study. They were given an oral exam that consisted of three role play scenarios. The results suggest that anxiety in the foreign language affects oral performance. Students with lower levels of anxiety received higher scores on the oral exam, while highly anxious students received lower test scores. Most of the students reported feeling nervous while receiving the oral exam.
