The document discusses a study that explored the relationship between English-major students' self-efficacy and English speaking anxiety. It aimed to examine whether students' speaking anxiety decreased through activities like spoken learning logs and reflective journals.
The study involved 93 English-major students who completed a foreign language speaking anxiety scale before and after treatments. Descriptive statistics showed students experienced high speaking anxiety initially. Correlations examined the relationship between anxiety and proficiency levels and self-efficacy. Paired t-tests evaluated anxiety changes after interventions. The results provided insights into students' anxiety experiences and how certain activities may help reduce speaking apprehension.
This document summarizes a study exploring self-efficacy and English speaking anxiety among English-major college students.

This document summarizes a study on anxiety in Chinese EFL students at different proficiency levels. The study examined 547 undergraduate students over one semester to understand the extent and sources of anxiety experienced in oral English classrooms. Results showed that about one-third of students experienced moderate to high anxiety. More proficient students tended to be less anxious, though proficiency level did not significantly impact anxiety. Being singled out to answer questions or give presentations were the most anxiety-provoking activities, while anxiety levels decreased for many students over the term with more exposure to spoken English.

The document summarizes a study that examined how computers can help English language learners acquire abstract words. The study involved 38 6th grade students in Taiwan who used a computer program to learn 11 abstract words over two hours. The experimental group only used the computer program while the control group used traditional instruction. Students were given a pre-test and post-test on the words as well as a survey. The results showed that the experimental group improved their scores by an average of 3.47 points compared to 0.78 for the control group, indicating that computer-assisted instruction helped students learn abstract words more effectively. The conclusion suggested expanding the program to include more words and adaptive learning paths based on student responses.
