Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale（FLCAS）

Speaking

[SUMMARY] English classes are often conducted in English, and students are more likely to feel anxious in English classes than in other classes. Therefore, in this study we focused on students’ anxiety and investigated whether the results of the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale（FLCAS; a measure of anxiety in foreign language classes） targeting Japanese junior high school students and those targeting Japanese university students are similar. We also investigated the relationship between teachers’ teaching styles from the perspective of students as well as Japanese junior high school students’ anxieties during English classes. The results of the FLCAS targeting Japanese junior high school students differed from those of Japanese university students’, and teaching styles had little influence on students’ anxieties during English classes. In conclusion, the findings suggest that the results of FLCAS targeting Japanese university students are not applicable to Japanese junior high school students and the factors influencing students’ anxieties during English classes may not be teaching styles, but other factors.
