Many foreign companies have settled subsidiaries in this country and require the use of English as Lingua Franca in order to get hired, promoted, or sent to training abroad.Additionally, universities have also changed their requirements to graduate, so now all students must obtain an acceptable score in an international English exam to be able to obtain a Bachelor’s or a Master’s degree.The factors mentioned above along with pressure at work or school, family responsibilities, and tight schedules among others, help increase the level of anxiety which eventually affects their performance and outcome. To find how this project will use adult English students in the 25 - 50 age range who are currently working in companies on a regular nine to six schedule. They are professionals who are studying to obtain a specialization or their master’s or doctorate’s degree.All of these students have studied English before in a school, language institute, or with a private teacher once or several times before. All of them need the language to grow professionally and academically and are very motivated and eager to learn. Most of them expect to finally learn the language with their current course. They do not want to drop the course one more time and promise to do all that it takes to pursue their goal.The methodology of this research will be descriptive using quantitative approaches.We will conduct observation, diaries, videos, interviews, and tests to define anxious students' characteristics. A survey research design will be necessary due to the nature of this action research project as well as content analysis. date: 2022-06-01 date_type: published thesis_type: masters thesis_name: other access: close language: en citation: Tesis Materias > Educación Universidad Europea del Atlántico > Docencia > Trabajos finales de Máster Universidad Internacional Iberoamericana Puerto Rico > Docencia > Trabajos finales de Máster Cerrado Inglés AbstractThere has been major growth in the business industry.
