Abstract

ABSTRACT Purpose The purpose of the present study was twofold. First, we aimed to adapt the English-speaking Anxiety Scale. Second, we intended to investigate the mediating role of English learning motivation and self-confidence on the relationship between English-speaking anxiety and English self-efficacy through a serial mediation analysis. Design/methodology/approach The first phase included the adaptation of the English-speaking Anxiety Scale into tertiary level based on data collected from 178 students. The second phase tested the theoretical serial mediation model based on data collected from 526 students. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to serve for the first purpose of the study whereas PROCESS macro (Model 6) was run to test the serial multiple mediation roles of English learning motivation and self-confidence. Findings The results of CFA showed that the fit indices of the adapted version of the scale were acceptable. Besides, it was found out that English learning motivation and self-confidence played multiple mediating roles in the relationship between English self-efficacy and English-speaking anxiety. Originality/value This research offers a valid and reliable scale to determine the English-speaking anxiety of tertiary level students. Also, it sheds light how English learning motivation and self-confidence mediates the relationship between English-speaking anxiety and English self-efficacy for the first time. Pedagogical implications of the study for future research were presented at the end of the study.

言语焦虑量表的心理测量特性及系列中介分析的跨学科研究

本研究的目的是双重的。首先，我们的目标是调整英语焦虑量表。其次，我们打算通过一系列的中介分析来考察英语学习动机和自信在英语焦虑和英语自我效能之间的中介作用。设计/方法/方法第一阶段包括根据178名学生收集的数据将英语焦虑量表调整到高等教育水平。第二阶段基于526名学生的数据对理论序列中介模型进行检验。验证性因子分析是本研究的第一目的，而过程宏观(模型6)则是为了检验英语学习动机和自信的一系列多重中介作用。结果CFA结果表明，改编版量表的拟合指标是可接受的。此外，我们还发现英语学习动机和自信在英语自我效能感与英语焦虑的关系中起多重中介作用。原创性/价值本研究提供了一个有效可靠的量表来测定大专学生的英语焦虑。同时，本研究也首次揭示了英语学习动机和自信在英语焦虑和英语自我效能之间的中介作用。在研究的最后，提出了本研究对未来研究的教学意义。
