Foreign language anxiety in relation to affective variables


 This study investigated Korean-as-a-foreign-language (KFL) students’ foreign language anxiety (FLA) in relation to
 five affective variables (i.e., unwillingness to communicate, classroom risk-taking, classroom sociability, motivation, and
 self-efficacy) as well as to self-rated Korean proficiency. One hundred and fifty-two KFL students who were enrolled in Korean
 classes in a large public university in Australia completed survey items for the study. Overall, KFL students in Australia showed
 moderate levels of anxiety (M = 2.79) and unwillingness to communicate (M = 2.58). Additionally,
 their levels of motivation (M = 3.92) and self-efficacy (M = 3.41) were high. Five affective
 variables were proven to be significantly related with FLA: a positive correlation between FLA and unwillingness to communicate;
 and negative correlations between FLA and classroom risk-taking, classroom sociability, motivation and self-efficacy. Among the
 variables, self-efficacy and self-rated overall Korean proficiency were found to be the best predictors of FLA.
