%X 焦虑是外语教学和学习研究中的一个重要的心理学概念,它对学习者的语言使用和学习效果有很大影响。然而,以往多数研究主要关注课堂焦虑或阅读及写作焦虑上,对发言焦虑的研究相对较少。鉴于发言是学习者用目标语言交流并加强语言学习的重要途径,调查学习者在此过程中的焦虑可以为外语教学提供重要启示。进而使教师采取有效策略帮助学习者管理其焦虑,轻松使用目标语进行交际,并有效促进语言学习。本研究旨在考察我国中部某高校英语专业学习者的发言焦虑与学习环境(教师支持)以及学习者个人因素(积极倾向)之间的关系。研究共收集了141份调查问卷。定量数据分析发现英语专业学习者有中等程度的发言焦虑。相关性分析显示发言焦虑和教师支持之间存在弱负相关,但这种关系并不具备显著性。其次,发言焦虑和积极倾向之间具有弱显著性负相关关系。最后,教师支持与积极倾向之间存在显著性正相关。
Anxiety is a crucial psychological concept in foreign language teaching and learning research, as it significantly impacts learners’ language use and learning outcomes. However, most of the previous studies have mainly focused on classroom anxiety or reading and writing anxiety, while research on foreign language speaking anxiety has been relatively scarce. Given that speaking in a foreign lan-guage is a vital way for learners to communicate with the target language and enhance language learning, investigating anxiety during this process can provide valuable insights for foreign lan-guage teaching and learning. This information can enable teachers to adopt effective strategies to help learners manage their anxiety, speak comfortably in the target language, and effectively pro-mote language learning. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between speaking anxiety, the learning context (teacher support), and individual learner factors (positive orientation) among English majors at a university in central China. A total of 141 questionnaires were collected for this research. Quantitative data analysis found that college English majors had a moderate level of anxiety. Correlation analysis revealed that there was a weak negative correlation between speaking anxiety and teacher support, but this relationship is not statistically significant. Besides, there was also a weak negative correlation between speaking anxiety and positive orientation and this relationship is statistically significant. Finally, there was a weak positive correlation between teacher support and positive orientation, and this relationship is statistically significant.
