This research examines the relationships between L2 learners' individual differences, such as level of foreign language anxiety, degree of acculturation, and previous study abroad experience. For the current study, a total of 132 university students majoring in diverse subjects responded to a paper-based questionnaire consisting of the three parts: 1) the Background Questionnaire, 2) the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) and 3) the EFL Student Acculturation Questionnaire (ESAQ). In order to analyse the collected data, correlations and independent sample t-tests were employed. The results showed that the higher the degree of acculturation, the lower the level of foreign language anxiety. It was also found that learners' previous study abroad experience has an impact on their feeling of anxiety towards L2 learning and their attitudes towards the target language culture.
