Dil öğrenmede dinleme becerisinin diğer beceriler üzerindeki yadsınamaz bir etkisi vardır ve bu sebeple dinleme becerisini etkileyen ve başarıyı engelleyen etmenleri incelemek gerekmektedir. Bu nitel çalışmada yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yoluyla hem öğretmen adaylarının hem de öğretmen eğitimcilerinin yabancı dilde dinleme endişesi ile ilgili görüşleri incelenmiştir. Toplanan sözlü verinin analizi; öğretmen adaylarının ve öğretmen eğitimcilerinin yabancı dilde dinleme endişesi tanımı, bu endişenin sebepleri ve sonuçları ve de bununla baş etme yolları açısından benzer görüşler dile getirdiklerini ortaya koymuştur. Bu benzerlikler hem öğretmen adaylarının hem de öğretmen eğitimcilerinin problemin farklı boyutları ile ilgili bilgi sahibi olduklarını fakat bu bilginin öğretmen adaylarındaki endişe seviyesini indirmede çok etkili olmadığını göstermektedir. Daha düşük seviyelerde endişeyi sağlamak için yapılması gereken çok şey bulunmaktadır

Student Teachers’ and Teacher Educators’ Views on Foreign Language Listening Anxiety1

Öz

As listening influences other skills in language learning, there is always a need to analyze factors influencing and/or preventing success in listening. In this qualitative study, both student teachers’ and teacher educators’ views on foreign language listening anxiety were analyzed with semi-structured interviews. The analysis of the verbal data revealed a lot of similarities between the stated views of student teachers’ and teacher educators’ in terms of how they defined foreign language listening anxiety, the causes and effects of it and their ways of dealing with it. These similarities suggest that both student teachers and teacher educators know about the different dimensions of the problem, but this does not contribute to lowering the anxiety of the student teachers to a great extent. There is still a lot we can do to achieve lower levels of foreign language listening anxiety
