The study was designed in the survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods. While the universe of the research consists of students studying at the preparatory classes of German language teaching departments in Turkey, the sample includes students who receive preparatory education in German language teaching at different universities in Marmara, Central Anatolia, Black Sea and South-eastern Anatolia Regions. “Foreign Language Listening Anxiety Scale (FLLAS)” developed by Polat and Erişti (2018) and “Personal Information Form (PIF)” prepared by the researchers were used in data collection. T-tests were used in data analysis. According to the findings of the study, it was determined that the gender variable did not differ significantly in any dimension.
