Abstract
This study aimed to explore the effect of anxiety and self-efficacy on class performance in Arabic language online classes. This study used a quantitative research approach, and the data was collected through a survey instrument administered to 148 first-year Arabic learner students enrolled in an Arabic language online class. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics as well as a structural equation model to examine the relationship between variables. The study‟s results showed that anxiety had a negative effect on class performance, while self-efficacy positively impacted class performance. Therefore, anxiety is the main contributor to Arabic online learning performance. Additionally, self-efficacy was found to have a moderating effect on the relationship between anxiety and class performance.
The findings of this study suggest that anxiety and self-efficacy are important factors to consider in an online learning environment, as they
can significantly impact class performance. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that educators in online learning
environments implement strategies to enhance self-efficacy and reduce anxiety levels among their students.
