Kim, Haeryeong. A Study on the Korean speaking efficacy and speaking anxiety of Chinese university students majoring in Korean. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 31(2), 1-25. Self-efficacy and anxiety are major affective factors influencing learning and acquisition of second language learners. This study examines and analyzes the patterns of Chinese learners' Korean speaking efficacy and speaking anxiety, focusing on learners' affective factors such as self-efficacy and anxiety. Furthermore, the factors influencing Korean speaking and learners' coping strategies were examined. To this end, a survey and interview were conducted on 189 Chinese college students majoring in Korean in China on speaking efficacy and anxiety. The results of the study are as follows. First, the level of Korean speaking efficacy of Chinese learners is relatively high. And as learners master Korean, their speaking efficacy also improves. Second, Chinese learners' anxiety about speaking Korean is relatively high. In addition, as Korean is mastered, the level of speaking anxiety decreases, but there is no statistically significant difference. Third, there is a significant correlation between Korean speaking efficacy and speaking anxiety. Higher speaking efficacy lowers anxiety, and lower efficacy increases anxiety. This study is meaningful in that it analyzes the patterns and correlations of speaking efficacy and speaking anxiety of Chinese Korean learners and provides references to the design of speaking classes for Chinese learners. |
