The Relationship among Attitude, Anxiety and English Speaking Performance

Öz

It was aimed to designate the relationship among attitude towards English, foreign language anxiety and English speaking skills of university preparatory class students in this study. The study group consisted of 518 students who were enrolled at Ege University School of Foreign Languages Preparatory Class. “Attitudes towards English Questionnaire” and “Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS)” were used as instruments. Students’ English speaking scores in the first term of 2014-2015 academic year were taken into account to determine their English speaking level. In the analysis of the data, SPSS 21.00 statistical package program was used. According to the findings, there was a weak and significant correlation among foreign language anxiety, attitude towards English and English speaking skills of the students. There was a negative, weak correlation between the subscales of FLCAS and English speaking skills. While the test anxiety had the biggest negative effect on English speaking skills, communication apprehension had the least adverse effect on it. There was a negative, medium correlation between attitudes towards English and foreign language anxiety of the students. It was observed that proficiency level did not have a statistically important difference on the students’ attitude towards English and foreign language anxiety.
