Topik: Anxiety; FLCAS; ESNED students Fulltext: A STUDY OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE ANXIETY.pdf (8.1MB) Isi artikel Since English functions as a foreign language, exposures to English in communication are limited. Indonesian learners often feel hesitate to participate in classroom activities in English subject. Lecturers teaching English for ESNED students often say that their students tend to be quiet and only few students who are motivated actively participate in classroom activities. Krashen (1988) suggests if a learner has very low motivation and self-confidence, and a high level of anxiety, the affective filter comes into place and inhibits the learner from acquiring the new language. This study investigates the learners’ anxiety in an ESP context. FLCAS proposed by Horwitz et al. (1986), classroom observation, and interview were the instruments to obtain the needed information. There were 105 students participated in this study. The study reveals that the students’ anxiety level reaches 99.34 which means that their anxiety level belongs to high level. This finding indicates that the students are still anxious in attending their English class. Communication Apprehension and Fear or Negative Evaluation influence strongly on the students’ anxiety level. The result can be beneficial for developing module and teaching strategies and it can be applied in other study programs that use English as the medium of instruction.
