Speaking Anxiety in a Foreign Language Classroom in Kazakhstan
Year: 2013
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: As I reviewed the literature and deepened on research methodology principles, I used the original study as a starting point to voice Kazakh anxious language learners out about the issue. The given research conducted on speaking anxiety revealed that students have extremely negative experiences with speaking activities in a foreign language class. All the instruments used to investigate the problem of speaking anxiety were considerably helpful. Important measures should be taken to try to minimize its negative effects. Increased speaking anxiety levels in Kazakhstani high school students can be attributed to a variety of factors. One attributing factor may be related to the fact that the Kazakhstani educational system is not designed to increase the communicative competence of students. Therefore, many students experience a feeling of uneasiness and anxiety when having to speak in the foreign language.
