This paper examines research concerning "facilitating anxiety" that is often cited in the language learning literature and that many language teachers are familiar with. It starts with Yerks and Dobson's (1908) work and then reviews a number of attempts to create a scale to distinguish between students for whom anxiety has a positive effect (facilitating anxiety) and students for whom anxiety has a negative effect in test taking or second language learning situations. Various problems regarding the conceptualization of anxiety and attempts to measure it are pointed out.
