This study attempts to mark how learner anxiety, a significant trait of learner attitude, affects the oral-auditory learning of EFL in Bangladesh. The research should primarily consider how it might improve English teaching and learning conditions and benefit Bangladeshi students. Two hundred students from two private universities participated in a survey for this study. Also, nine teachers and ten students participated in semi-structured and openended interviews to validate the findings of this mixed-method study. This study's identified problems and suggested solutions provide insight towards chalking out language programs and curricula to meet the demands of learning English as a foreign language in Bangladesh.
