Summary: | The general purpose of the study was to
investigate EFL learners‟ speaking anxiety and its
associated factors. More specifically, the study was
purposed to examine the constructs of a speaking
anxiety and to explore the model for predicting speaking
anxiety based on gender, proficiency and class type.
Therefore, explanatory factor analysis and multiple
linear regression analysis were used. The result
indicated that there are two factors in learners‟ speaking
anxiety, but they are difficult to name as a result of
overlapping variables in each component. With regards
to a multiple linear regression test, the finding shows
that proficiency variable is the most significant factor for
predicting the variation in speaking anxiety. |
