In the paper entitled Examination of language anxiety among Croatian students of the Ukrainian language, the aim was to examine whether students of Ukrainian language and literature have experiences with language anxiety in classroom situations and which variables affect their level of anxiety. Language anxiety, as one of the most important affective factors, plays a big role in foreign language acquisition, therefore we start with the theoretical part in order to present important terms such as individual and affective factors. After the theoretical basis, we explain in more detail how the language anxiety is defined and manifested, what types of fear we recognize and how we can get rid of this feeling. Special emphasis is also placed on fear in certain components of language learning, which is shown in the research part. In the research part of the paper, we deal with the processing of data obtained from a survey conducted on current and former students of the Ukrainian language (N=22) at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb. Language anxiety survey was investigated in the lectures of the Croatian and Ukrainian lecturer at the same time, therefore this is a correlational type of research. An effort was also made to determine the connection of fear with other important variables in language learning, such as exposure to the language, level of knowledge (year of study), self-assessment of language mastery, and an attempt to determine exactly in which phase of the language learning process the fear of the Ukrainian language is mostly manifested. The results of the analysis showed some expected and unexpected conclusions. The connection between the level of fear and exposure to the language of interest was confirmed, and the highest level of fear in the output phase was determined. Although the hypothesis was initially not confirmed, the connection between fear and the level of language learning was shown, that is, we could notice that even among advanced students there was a high level of language anxiety. In the discussion part, we tried to find logical explanations for the obtained results and thereby give some conclusions of the research.
