Download or read book Overcoming Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety written by Jinyan Huang and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign language anxiety and language-skill-specific anxiety are widely used to describe the feeling of tension and apprehension, which is specifically associated with foreign language learning contexts, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA) is related to foreign language anxiety and language-skill-specific anxiety, and fairly recently identified as distinguished from other forms of anxiety. FLCA is a more general type of anxiety in learning a foreign language with a strong speaking anxiety element; and low self-confidence is identified as an important component of its construct. Research shows that FLCA is a complex, multi-dimensional phenomenon; it has many potential sources; and it interferes with the acquisition, retention, and production of a foreign language. This book examines the dynamics of FLCA phenomena.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign language anxiety is widely used to describe the feeling of tension and apprehension, which is specifically associated with second language contexts, including speaking, listening and learning. It is a distinct complex of self-perceptions, beliefs, feelings and behaviors related to classroom language learning arising from the uniqueness of the language learning process. In general, students who struggle with anxiety are more likely to struggle with reading, writing and most notably, listening comprehension and speaking. Research shows that students, regardless of anxiety within a specific category of language-skill-specific anxiety, tend to have a general feeling of low-self confidence. This book examines the dynamics of the anxiety phenomena.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The research questions for this Action Research Capstone based upon the literature review are: 1) How does Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety relate to the Interpersonal, Interpretive and Presentational Modes of language learning including the specific language skills of Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking? 2) What methods are most effective in reducing FLCA for [beginning and intermediate high school] second language students?"--Leaf 13. "The investigation has resulted in three major conclusions based upon the data collected. The data shows that FLCA exists for the majority of students at some point during language learning process. The student can experience FLCA based upon a wide variety of factors, including skill assignments and academic relationships. Language anxieties are often related to language learning skills and students may experience these anxieties based upon student personality, the lack of preparedness, the skill itself, the complexity of the skill assignment, negative academic relationships and more. With support, students can identify FLCA and develop strategies to alleviate the anxieties associated with language learning skills"--Leaf 43.

Book Synopsis Foreign Language Anxiety and the Advanced Language Learner by : Zsuzsa Tóth
Download or read book Foreign Language Anxiety and the Advanced Language Learner written by Zsuzsa Tóth and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08-11 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does anxiety about learning and using a foreign language decline as learners become more competent in the target language, or is anxiety also relevant at higher levels of proficiency? This is the question Foreign Language Anxiety and the Advanced Language Learner sets out to explore. The aim of the book is to give readers an insight into what role anxiety plays in the language learning and communication processes of advanced language learners. Specifically, the study examines how advanced EFL learners’ foreign language anxiety (FLA) can be characterized; how anxiety relates to other individual differences (cognitive, affective, personality); and explores the relationship between FLA and various aspects of learners’ performance and communication experience in the target language. The research context is Hungary. The findings, however, are not confined to the Hungarian EFL setting. In addition to making a contribution to the clarification of some unresolved issues in language anxiety research—including the role of proficiency in the development of anxiety, the relationship between anxiety and other learner variables, and the much-debated question of whether or not anxiety accounts for differential success in L2 learning—this study has important implications for language teachers as well.

Book excerpt: Case Study from the year 2016 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, , language: English, abstract: This paper presents an empirical study of Foreign Language Anxiety in Chinese university students learning English as a foreign language. The subjects of the present study were 344 college students from Mainland China. They responded to a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire adapted from Horwitz’s Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS). Their responses to the questionnaire were submitted to exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (with the help of statistical package of SPSS and AMOS) for identifying anxiety dimensions. The results show that four dimensions of anxiety exist among the subjects and the two dimensions of the FLCAS were closely examined to find the extent to which that the four-factor model adequately fit the data. The fit indices suggested that the instrument measuring the dimensions of anxiety specific to college students in China was valid construct-wise and reliable for future use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Already the focus of much interest for 50 years, the study of foreign language learning anxiety (FLLA) still remains a popular research topic among scholars in Western countries. FLLA is believed to be an important cause of students’ “dumb English”. Considering the paucity of monographs on FLLA in China, this book represents an important step towards filling this gap. The author uses his PhD dissertation as a foundation for reviewing and discussing previous literature, as well as the current status of and major issues concerning FLLA worldwide. The book explores FLLA in China by using innovative triangulated research methodology, combining both quantitative and qualitative methods, namely surveys, focused interviews, and classroom observations. It also highlights the significance and implications of the research results and predicts the future of global FLLA research with a particular focus on China. Readers will discover the latest developments and issues concerning FLLA, causes of FLLA, and verified, effective strategies for alleviating such anxiety.

(1986). It will be examined how anxiety can manifest itself and also how it can be diagnosed and measured by means of an instrument which was also developed by Horwitz et al. Moreover, it will be explained in what way anxiety can affect second language acquisition and also what some potential causes and sources are. The last section of this paper will focus on some of the guidelines and strategies that can be adopted by teachers, but also by students, in order to minimize feelings of anxiety. In this context, these will be brought into question and reflected upon. In order to understand foreign language anxiety in a broader context, the fundamental aspects of anxiety, in general, will be discussed in the following section.
