APP对英语口语焦虑的缓解效果的实证分析

Alleviating Effects of English APP on Speaking Anxiety

为研究APP对英语学习者口语焦虑的作用,对101名大学一年级非英语专业学生开展为期13周的APP辅助口语实验教学之后进行问卷调查,并对6名受试者进行访谈。研究发现:课堂进度焦虑、课堂发言焦虑、评价焦虑、交际焦虑和口语课程信心是影响学生口语焦虑的5个因子;与传统课堂教学方法相比,使用英语APP练习口语会缓解学生的4种焦虑,对"口语课程信心"有促进作用但不够显著;英语口语焦虑的缓解程度与英语APP口语练习的频率有关,相比于全部使用APP进行的口语练习,APP与传统口语练习相结合的教学方法能更好地降低学生的口语焦虑。
