    Learning anxiety in English and mathematics is a phenomenon that has a significant impact on students' performance and emotional well-being in various educational settings, particularly in areas with cultural and economic diversity, such as Ecuador. This study aims to evaluate the level of anxiety in first-year students in these subjects and analyze the variables that influence its occurrence. A quantitative approach was used, and a convenience sample of 75 university students was selected. These students completed questionnaires using a Likert-type scale to assess anxiety and associated perceptions. The data obtained were analyzed using statistical methods to identify differences, relationships, and predictive models. Among the most significant findings, it was observed that students exhibit high levels of anxiety in mathematics, which is linked to perceptions of difficulty and low self-esteem. In the case of English, anxiety is related to insecurities in language use and fear of social evaluation. The findings underscore the importance of implementing innovative pedagogical methods and emotional awareness programs to mitigate the impact of anxiety on the learning process and foster a more inclusive and motivating educational environment
