The document summarizes three research papers from UPRT 2008. The papers examined foreign language anxiety among students, the classroom climate and its effect on student maturity and dilemmas, and the challenges and insights from an introspective study abroad experience in China. The final paper presented findings from a quantitative study that found 80% of 117 students experienced anxiety in foreign language learning, with 22% reporting very high anxiety levels.
