On the base of forepart research, Eysenck (1992) advanced his new anxiety theory fromcognitive way--the processing efficiency theory. After some related experiments,this new theory had been proved in normal anxiety domain and some special anxiety domain, such as math anxiety and sports anxiety. But as one of the special anxiety, researchers had not make sure how foreign language anxiety influent human' s behavior. Our research through the way of experiment and questionnaire to advance the research in foreign language anxiety domain, and we got some conclusions as:1. we proved the processing efficiency theory in foreign language anxiety domain.2. feeling of foreign language anxiety can engross some resource of working memory system and limit individual' s spare resource of working memory system, so when these people doing cognitive activity, they will be low processing efficiency.3. for some reasons(such as compensate), sometimes individuals with low processing efficiency not put up in their outcome, but can be blight during cognitive process.
