L2 motivation, anxiety and self-efficacy: The interrelationship of individual variables in the secondary school context
Open accessAbstract
Our study describes the relationship of second language learning motivation, self-efficacy, and anxiety; that is, how motivation, cognition, and affect might interact during the process of second language learning. Questionnaire data were collected from 236 Hungarian students studying at various secondary schools. Structural equation modeling was used to investigate the proposed circular relationship of students’ motivated learning behavior, language learning experience, self-efficacy beliefs, and both debilitating and facilitating anxiety. Our results indicate that: (a) the process of motivation is complex and influenced by other individual difference (ID) variables, and (b) the investigation of ID variables in constellations rather than in isolation seems to be more fruitful in understanding language learner differences.

“…measure the constructs of communication apprehension, test anxiety and fear of negative evaluation; however, validation studies have not been able to fully confirm this componential structure (e.g., Aida, 1994; Cheng, Horwitz, & Schallert, 1999; Pérez-Paredes & Martínez-Sanchez, 2001; Tóth, 2008).”

“Another issue arising from the use of the FLCAS is that it focuses on measuring debilitating anxiety especially related to speaking in the foreign language classroom (Horwitz, Horwitz, & Cope, 1991; MacIntyre & Gardner, 1989).”

“Furthermore, while Tremblay and Gardner (1995) suggest that language anxiety lowers learners’ self-efficacy, Bandura (1988) postulates the opposite: Self-efficacy influences anxiety, as self-judgment of ineptness to perform a task evokes negative feelings.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
