The study investigated language anxiety of Korean college students when they spoke with NSs and FSs in an English clinic center. The research questions were constructed as follows; 1) How much were those students anxious when they spoke with NSs and FSs in the center? 2) In terms of students’ English proficiency, were there any differences? 3) What were the characteristics of those students’ language anxiety in the center? Seventy-eight college students participated in the survey, and six of them volunteered for the in-depth interview. Independent sample t-tests and ANOVA were used to analyze data, and McCracken’s (1988) analytic process was used for analysis of qualitative data. Results of data analysis showed that Korean college students in the center did not show differences in language anxiety when they communicated with NSs and FSs and no difference either towards both groups by the participants’ English proficiency levels. The participants’ language anxiety and their English proficiency and self-perceived English proficiency showed negative relation. Participants’ language anxiety was due to the individual differences not because of the differences toward native speakers or foreign students. Suggestions for further study and implications are presented as well.
