The purpose of the present study was to investigate the potential relationship between students frequent use of English outside class and the degree of foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA). Methods: A questionnaire including 45 five-point Likert scale items on the relationship between Japanese use and FLCA in task-based English classes was administered to 257 Japanese students attending a language-oriented university. Results: Increased use of English outside class was significantly related to lower FLCA, higher risk-taking, less preference to use Japanese, and higher enthusiasm. Additionally, lower FLCA was related to longer hours of English study (grammar, reading, listening and/or writing) at home and study abroad experience. Conclusions: The present results suggest that frequent use of English out of class with high enthusiasm may be useful for Japanese college students to have lower FLCA. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: questionnaire/scale research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
