Abstract: Anxiety is common among foreign language learners in the process of second language acquisition.In order to solve the problem of Chinese learning anxiety among Chinese learners in French Speaking West Africa， this paper takes three Chinese undergraduate students from the Confucius Institute of AbomeyCalavi University in Benin to investigate.Through statistical analysis， it is found that most respondents have learning anxiety when learning Chinese， mainly because of being afraid of communicating in Chinese， being afraid of being evaluated negatively by others， and lacking confidence.This kind of learning anxiety leads to impatience or anxiety， poor comprehension and decreased attention， so it is necessary to adjust learning strategies and teaching strategies accordingly.

摘要： 第二语言习得过程中外语学习者普遍存在焦虑现象。以贝宁阿波美卡拉维大学孔子学院汉语本科三个年级学生为例，调查西非法语地区汉语学习者学习焦虑状况，发现大多数被调查者学习汉语时存在学习焦虑，原因主要是怕用中文交流、怕被别人消极评价、缺乏自信等。这种学习焦虑导致学习时情绪急躁或者忧虑、理解力变差、注意力下降，需要有针对性地调整学习策略和教学策略。
