“An Investigation in Variables of English Speaking Anxiety Levels of ESL Learners in America.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 36.4(2010): 289-308. This study is to investigate variables in English speaking anxiety levels of ESL learners in America. A total of 205 students, aged 12 to more than 40, answered a questionnaire based on 40 selected items from Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale, Horwitz & et. al. (1986) and Foreign Language Learning Motivation Scale, Young (1990). The results are as follows: First, ESL learners’ English language speaking anxiety level is lower than the median (M=2.79), and second, there are no significant differences in English language speaking anxiety levels based on gender and living location. Third, there are significant differences between the age of 12-18 learners’ speaking anxiety levels and other age groups [F(1, 203) = 13.73, p < .001]. Finally, there are significant differences between learning efficacy and English language speaking anxiety levels in ESL learners (β = -.38, t = -5.86, p < .001). Thess results suggest that teachers consider learners’ features to reduce their foreign language speaking anxiety. (Kyungnam University)
