This study investigates the relation between achievement motivation, emotional intelligence and foreign language classroom anxiety, in French students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad and relation of age and gender with these variables. For this purpose, Baron Emotional intelligence questionnaire, Hermans achievement motivation test, foreign language classroom anxiety test and Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety scale were presented to 87 French students.
