Abstract

The present study explored how negative emotional orientations (i.e., anxiety, boredom, and demotivation) may contribute to English as a foreign language (EFL) learners' willingness to communicate (WTC) in in-person and online classes. In doing so, a total of 290 university students majoring in English were recruited to fill in a set of scales. The structural equation modeling analysis indicated that foreign language classroom anxiety (FLA) and L2 demotivation have a direct impact on EFL learners' in-person and online L2WTC. While L2 demotivation was the strongest significant predictor of learners' in-person L2WTC, FLA was the strongest predictor of online L2WTC. Additionally, there was a positive correlation among FLA, L2 demotivation, and foreign language classroom boredom (FLB). While FLA demonstrated no direct impact on communication willingness, it exhibited significant indirect paths to in-person L2WTC via the full mediation of L2 demotivation and FLA . Although the result did not show any significant direct impact of FLB on online L2WTC, it had a small yet significant indirect path to online L2WTC through the full mediation of FLA. FLA also revealed indirect significant paths to online L2WTC through FLB and L2 demotivation. The implications for L2 teachers and teacher educators will be further discussed.

EFL 学习者的消极情绪取向对(不)愿意在面对面和在线 L2 学习情境中进行交流的影响》(EFL Learners' Negative Emotional Orientations on (Un)Willilling to Communicate in In-person and Online L2 Learning Context)。
本研究探讨了消极情绪取向(即焦虑、无聊和消沉)如何影响英语作为外语(EFL)学习者在面授和在线课堂上的交流意愿(WTC)。为此,研究人员招募了 290 名英语专业的大学生,让他们填写一套量表。结构方程建模分析表明,外语课堂焦虑(FLA)和 L2 消极对 EFL 学习者的面对面和在线 L2WTC 有直接影响。L2 消极是学习者现场 L2WTC 的最强显著预测因子,而 FLA 则是在线 L2WTC 的最强预测因子。此外,FLA、L2 消极和外语课堂无聊(FLB)之间存在正相关。虽然 FLA 对交流意愿没有直接影响,但通过 L2 消极和 FLA 的完全中介作用,它对人际 L2WTC 有显著的间接影响。虽然结果没有显示 FLB 对在线 L2WTC 有任何显著的直接影响,但通过 FLA 的全面中介作用,它对在线 L2WTC 有一个微小但显著的间接路径。FLA 也显示了通过 FLB 和 L2 消极间接影响在线 L2WTC 的重要路径。我们将进一步讨论这对 L2 教师和教师教育者的影响。

期刊介绍: Journal of Psycholinguistic Research publishes carefully selected papers from the several disciplines engaged in psycholinguistic research, providing a single, recognized medium for communications among linguists, psychologists, biologists, sociologists, and others. The journal covers a broad range of approaches to the study of the communicative process, including: the social and anthropological bases of communication; development of speech and language; semantics (problems in linguistic meaning); and biological foundations. Papers dealing with the psychopathology of language and cognition, and the neuropsychology of language and cognition, are also included.
