摘要

拉合尔工程技术大学（UET）工程系本科生用英语进行的技术和非技术演示包括实验室和调查报告演示、项目演示、中期或期末英语演示。这项研究的目的是找出工程系学生在拉合尔大学用英语做演讲时感到焦虑的原因。为此，来自拉合尔UET的518名工程本科生填写了一份问卷，并回答了一个开放式问题，以确定焦虑的原因。使用体内编码系统对数据进行编码和分类。研究结果表明，参与者主要因英语水平差、害怕观众判断、缺乏信心、缺乏在学校或大学层面讲英语和用英语做演讲的机会、准备或练习不足以及语言输入不足而感到焦虑。这项研究对特定的语言评估、英语作为外语和心理语言学都有启示。

Causes of Anxiety Among Engineering Students While Making Oral Presentations in English

The technical and non-technical presentations made in English by the undergraduate engineering students at the University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Lahore include lab and survey report presentations, project presentations, mid-term or final term presentations in English. The goal of the study was to figure out the engineering students’ reasons behind feeling anxious while giving presentations in English at UET Lahore. For this purpose, 518 undergraduate engineering students from UET, Lahore filled a questionnaire and responded to an open-ended question to determine the causes of anxiety. The data was coded and categorized using in vivo coding system. Findings indicate that the participants mainly experience anxiety due to poor proficiency in English, fear of judgment by the audience, lack of confidence, lack of exposure to speaking English and making presentations in English at school or college level, poor preparation or practice, and insufficient linguistic input. The study has implications for specific lingual assessments, English as a foreign language, and psycholinguistics.

期刊介绍： Pakistan Journal of Psychological Research (PJPR) is published biannually by the National Institute of Psychology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan. Its first issue was published in Summer, 1986. Since then two issues, one in summer and the other in winter, have been appearing every year. The Journal provides an outlet for fully documented researches addressing educational, social, developmental, and other areas of Psychology. Preference is given to empirical articles, which deal with the application of psychological knowledge in understanding the problems of national and international importance. The Journal welcomes contributions from all corners. However, participation from the developing countries is eagerly sought in view of its under-representation in research journals published in the West. The PJPR maintains an international editorial board of Consulting Editors belonging to different countries, with expertise in a large number of areas. It employs a double-blind reviewing process i.e., the authors are not identified to reviewers and reviewers are not made known to authors. The contents of PJPR are being abstracted by the Proquest, and in PsycInfo. PJPR is included in the List of Social Sciences Journals recognized by Higher Education Commission, Pakistan.
