Abstract | Emotions are of vital importance in the foreign language learning process. However, while anxiety is one of the most commonly studied affective variables in the foreign language research context, positive emotions have recently become a trendy research topic among English as a foreign language (EFL) researchers. In addition, foreign language anxiety (FLA) and foreign language enjoyment (FLE) are related emotions that might coexist in individuals, while the number of studies in the Turkish EFL context is too limited to draw a conclusion. This study aims to investigate whether there is a relationship between enjoyment and anxiety in the Turkish EFL learning context. In this correlational study, the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) and the Foreign Language Enjoyment Scale (FLES) were administered to 242 English as a foreign language (EFL) learners. The correlational data were obtained to see the relationship between FLA and FLE. The results showed that there is a significant negative correlation between FLE and FLA.
