EN
Foreign language anxiety is one of the most important factors that affect communication in a foreign language. The teacher can lessen or eliminate anxiety by introducing appropriate teaching techniques and creating a positive atmosphere in the language classroom. The study mentioned in this article aims to present the results of a quasi-experiment conducted to verify whether implementing peer-assessment in a group of university students would affect their level of writing anxiety. The data were collected by the means of a questionnaire consisting of both closed-ended and open-ended question. The results indicate that peer-assessment contributed to lowering the level of writing anxiety. What is more, the participants of the study expressed positive opinions about the new form of providing feedback to their writing assignments.

Lęk językowy jest jednym z najważniejszych czynników wpływających na umiejętność komunikowania się w języku obcym. Poprzez dobór odpowiednich technik i sposobów nauczania nauczyciel może podjąć próbę wyeliminowania lub obniżenia poczucia lęku. Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia wyniki przeprowadzonego na dwóch grupach studentów quasi-eksperymentu, którego głównym celem było określenie związku między zastosowaniem oceniania koleżeńskiego a poziomem lęku przed pisaniem w języku angielskim. Podstawą pomiaru poziomu lęku przed pisaniem był kwestionariusz składający się z pytań otwartych i zamkniętych. Wyniki badania wykazały, że wprowadzenie oceniania koleżeńskiego na zajęciach przyczyniło się do obniżenia poziomu lęku przed pisaniem. Co więcej, studenci wyrazili pozytywne opinie na temat nowego podejścia do udzielania informacji zwrotnej o swoich pracach pisemnych.
