The impact of language anxiety, emotional competence and self-efficacy on language learning

Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

The present study investigates the relationship between anxiety, self-efficacy and
emotional competence, and how they affect language learning achievements. By utilizing the three instruments of General Anxiety Scale, New General Self-efficacy Scale and the Short Profile of Emotional Competence, the study drew upon the quantitative data which were triangulated with qualitative data from a focus group interview. It was found from this study that anxiety is negatively correlated with self-efficacy but positively related to emotional competence. A significant trilateral interaction occurred between anxiety, self-efficacy and emotional competence. Pedagogical implications for foreign language learning and teaching were suggested.
