Wang, Miaoqing; Lee, Heechul & Shim, Jaewoo. (2023). Foreign language classroom anxiety and enjoyment in English learning among Chinese senior high school students. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 31(1), 113-141. The present mixed-method study examined foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA) and foreign language enjoyment (FLE) in English learning among Chinese senior high school students. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected from 210 students aged 17 to 18 in a province in southern China. The subjects also took a TOEFL Junior Speaking Simulation Test that measured their oral English proficiency. The results of the canonical and regression analysis as well as the qualitative method of narrative frames revealed that FLCA and FLE were correlated, with FLCA and FLE sharing 36.8% variances. Anxiety of English class (AEC), a sub-dimension of FLCA was negatively related to oral English proficiency, while FLE-private, a sub-dimension of FLE, was positively related. In addition, several themes about the causes, effects, and strategies in FLCA and FLE were identified. The qualitative research findings supported the findings from the quantitative research analysis. Some pedagogical implications were made based on the present study. |
