| dc.description.other-abstract | Anxiety is associated with negative feelings such as discomfort: worry and failure when an English language learner must use the target language. The objectives of this study were 1) To investigate the factors causing the Chinese English language learner anxiety. and 2) To explore the activities that may cause anxiety in learning English. The study adopted a mixed methods approach. By using stratified sampling and the Yamane formula to calculate the sample size, 124 students were selected from a sample of 180 students learning English in six classes within a high school in Yunnan Province, China. Quantitative and Qualitative data analysis methods were used through the Questionnaires and the Semi-structured interviews to determine the anxiety factors and activities that arise in English language learning among Chinese junior high school students. The results of the study showed that all factors and activities scored high in all items, with an overall mean score of 3.8 (S.D.=1.67), with the English language mean score of 3.89 (S.D.=1.19), Teachers mean score of 3.86 (S.D.=1.12), and Fear of Failure mean score of 3.85 (S.D.=0.45). The results showed that students gave the highest score to the ‘English Language’ factor and the lowest scores to ‘Environment’ and ‘Myself’ factors. Among the activities that produced anxiety, the English grammar activities scored the highest mean with 4.06 (S.D.=1.05). Anxiety was found when the teacher punished students (x̅ =3.96/ S.D.=1.23) and the teacher was angry with the class (x̅ =3.92/ S.D.=1.15). The interviewed data revealed of the nine factors, motivation is the most important followed by learning stress and learning challenges as significant factors. The interviewees expressed that activities that caused fear were those showing inability to learn, involving competition with peers and those testing their English skills. | en_US |
