Technology and Foreign Language Anxiety: Implications for Practice and Future Research
Aydin, Selami
Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, v14 n2 p 193-211 2018
It is evident that technology plays an important role in the foreign language teaching and learning processes, whereas foreign language anxiety (FLA) is one of the considerable affective variables that influence adversely the aforementioned processes. However, how the use of technology affects FLA levels has not been drawn attention among researchers. It should be also stated that the results of current studies on the issue have been mixed. Thus, this study presents a brief research synthesis on the issue to make practical recommendations for target groups and researchers to guide further research. The study concludes that while research results have not reached a consensus, the use of technology has a reducing effect on FLA in the scope of the results obtained from the studies reviewed. Finally, the study ends with practical recommendations for target groups and researchers.
