Annotation

This study examines the link between the anxiety profiles of 156 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in Turkey and two multilingualism operationalisations: any L3 experience and Perceived Positive Language Interaction. Individuals' multilingual profiles appear very different and shifting all along given the interrelated components in the linguistic systems.
