Abstract

espanolEl presente estudio tuvo dos objetivos. En primer lugar, se examino la relacion que se produce entre la ansiedad y la motivacion de estudiantes iranies de ingles como lengua extranjera. En segundo lugar, se desarrollo un modelo de exito de aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras basado en la ansiedad que provoca el aprendizaje de idiomas y la motivacion, y se comprobo mediante modelos de ecuaciones estructurales. Para lograr los objetivos se pasaron a 264 participantes una escala de ansiedad en el aula de lengua extranjera (FLCAS) y una la escala de orientacion de aprendizaje de idiomas (LLOS). Los resultados del estudio mostraron que la desmotivacion y los tipos de motivacion externa menos auto-determinados se relacionan positivamente con la ansiedad que produce el aprendizaje de un idioma. Ademas, la motivacion intrinseca y la regulacion identificada se relacionan negativamente con la ansiedad de aprender una lengua. La aplicacion del modelos de ecuaciones estructurales mostro que la ansiedad y la motivacion predicen significativamente el logro en ingles de los estudiantes de lenguas en un contexto irani. Se discuten tambien algunas implicaciones pedagogicas de los resultados EnglishThe present study had two purposes. First, the relationship between language anxiety and motivation was examined among Iranian EFL learners. Secondly, a foreign language achievement model based on language learning anxiety and motivation was developed and tested by structural equation modeling. To achieve the purposes, foreign language classroom anxiety scale (FLCAS) and language learning orientations scale (LLOS) were administered to 264 participants. The results of the study showed that amotivation and less self-determined types of external motivation are positively related to language anxiety.

焦虑和动机在外语学习中的作用:一个结构方程模型方法
这项研究有两个目的。首先,我们研究了伊朗英语学生的焦虑与动机之间的关系。其次,建立了一个基于语言学习引起的焦虑和动机的外语学习成功模型,并通过结构方程模型进行验证。研究结果表明,消极动机和较少自主决定的外部动机类型与语言学习产生的焦虑呈正相关。此外,内在动机和确定的调节与学习语言的焦虑呈正相关。结构方程模型的应用表明,焦虑和动机能显著预测伊朗语学习者的英语成绩。本文还讨论了研究结果的一些教学意义。首先,考察了伊朗英语学习者的语言焦虑与动机之间的关系。第二,建立了基于语言学习焦虑和动机的外语成就模型,并通过结构方程模型进行了检验。为了实现这一目标,共有264名参与者参加了外语课堂焦虑量表(FLCAS)和语言学习取向量表(LLOS)。研究结果表明,动机和较少的自我决定的外部动机类型与语言焦虑有正相关关系。此外,内在动机和识别调节与语言焦虑有负相关。结构方程模型的应用表明,焦虑和动机都能显著预测伊朗语境下语言学习者的英语成绩。讨论了结果的教学意义

期刊介绍: PORTA LINGUARUM is an international and interuniversity journal that specialises in foreign language didactics. Its aims to publish empirical studies, critical revisions, and theoretical models that relate to the many factors that influence the FL teaching and learning: - The social and school context: the family’s social and cultural influence as well as the student’s mother language and its influence on the L2 learning process, etc. - The students: their personal characteristics (age, gender, personality traits, etc.) as well as their attitudes, motivation, cognitive styles, etc. - The FL teacher: the teacher’s mental representations, attitudes, motivation, individual characteristics, teaching methods, etc. - Learning conditions and the learning process, variables that influence the teaching and learning processes in the classroom: efficiency of teaching strategies, teaching methods and techniques, second language acquisition processes, students and teachers interaction, effect of teaching resources and materials, etc. - Learning outcomes: evaluation of procedures as well as the evaluation of the students’ communicative competence at different academic levels, etc.
