English as an Additional Language Counsellor Trainees' Experiences and Coping Strategies of Foreign Language Anxiety: A Phenomenological Study
Introduction
With growing linguistic and cultural diversity in the United States, there is a critical need to train counsellors who can provide linguistically and culturally responsive services. English as an Additional Language (EAL) counsellor trainees possess the potential to offer multilingual counselling but frequently experience Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA), which can hinder their counselling self-efficacy.
Methodology
This study employed a phenomenological approach to explore the lived experiences of EAL counsellor trainees who encounter FLA. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 participants to understand how these trainees perceive and manage their language-related anxiety within counselling settings.
Findings
The analysis revealed four key themes: (1) trainees' appraisal of their FLA experiences, (2) the reframing of FLA by emphasising the advantages of bilingual/multilingual identities, (3) the use of specific coping strategies to manage anxiety, and (4) the outcomes of these strategies on their confidence and professional growth.
Conclusion
Findings highlight the complex emotional and cognitive processes EAL trainees undergo when navigating FLA. Implications are discussed for counselling programmes, educators, and supervisors to better support EAL trainees through culturally attuned training practices that foster resilience and multilingual competence.
期刊介绍:
Counselling and Psychotherapy Research is an innovative international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to linking research with practice. Pluralist in orientation, the journal recognises the value of qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods strategies of inquiry and aims to promote high-quality, ethical research that informs and develops counselling and psychotherapy practice. CPR is a journal of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, promoting reflexive research strongly linked to practice. The journal has its own website: www.cprjournal.com. The aim of this site is to further develop links between counselling and psychotherapy research and practice by offering accessible information about both the specific contents of each issue of CPR, as well as wider developments in counselling and psychotherapy research. The aims are to ensure that research remains relevant to practice, and for practice to continue to inform research development.
