- W2885705513 abstract "This research was conducted to investigate foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA)among Japanese college students taking English as a foreign language (EFL), focusingmainly on the relationship between FLCA and first language (L1) use in Englishtask-based classes. Factors possibly affecting FLCA, such as gender, proficiency level,enthusiasm, self-confidence, and teacher-type preference, were also investigated toobtain a holistic picture. A cross-sectional research design with a mixed-methodsapproach (questionnaires, classroom observations and interviews) was adopted.Japanese EFL college students were found to have various degrees of FLCA. Overall,students with the highest anxiety levels were females (who felt strongerself-consciousness and peer pressure), beginners, and those who had poorercomprehension, showed less enthusiasm, studied less at home, spoke less English outsideclass, had lower self-confidence, took fewer risks, exhibited a higher desire to useJapanese in class, and preferred bilingual Japanese-native teachers (BJNT). However,even students who were enthusiastic about studying English sometimes had higheranxiety, which was considered to be facilitative in nature on the basis of the existingliterature. Beginners wanted to use more L1 than advanced-level students forclarification, but advanced-level students also needed L1 for understanding difficultmaterials.Higher enthusiasm was important for reducing anxiety and increasing self-confidence.Interestingly, although higher self-confidence was important for reducing anxiety, higherproficiency, rather than higher self-confidence, affected the amount of L1 use bystudents. The finding that the more English students spoke outside class, the less anxiousthey became suggests that students need more practice speaking TL to decrease theiranxiety. However, even students with higher enthusiasm who took optional classessometimes wanted to use L1 in class.Qualitative observations lent support to quantitative findings and helped to explain anumber of interesting phenomena. The implications and limitations of the study arediscussed, together with suggestions for further research." @default.
