Abstract
This paper focuses on the phenomenon of communication apprehension in a foreign language classroom setting. It tries to investigate if there is a difference in the total level of communication apprehension between undergraduate and graduate students of English Language and Literature at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek. Furthermore, it tries to explore whether there is a relationship between different aspects of communication apprehension and the total level of communication apprehension and which background factor is the best predictor of communication apprehension among the students. The first part of the paper brings a literature overview of the main concepts in this research, as well as an overview of relevant studies in the world. The second part of the paper reports on the research itself. A mixed-method approach, consisting of questionnaires completed by the students and in-depth interviews conducted among the teachers, is used for the purpose of this study. The results show that year of studying is not a significant predictor of the communication apprehension level which students experience. Among all variables included in the analysis, the only significant predictors of communication apprehension are evaluations.
Abstract (croatian)
Tema je ovoga rada pojava straha od komunikacije na stranom jeziku kod studenata engleskog jezika u razrednom okruženju. Pokušava istražiti postoji li razlika u razini straha od komunikacije između studenata preddiplomskog i diplomskog studija Engleskog jezika i književnosti na Filozofskom fakultetu Osijek. Nadalje, pokušava istražiti postoji li povezanost različitih aspekata straha s ukupnim strahom od komunikacije te koji je čimbenik najbolji predskazivač straha među studentima. Prvi dio rada donosi pregled temeljnih ideja iz literature o ovom području, kao i pregled važnih istraživanja u svijetu. Drugi dio rada izvještava o samom istraživanju. Za potrebe istraživanja koristili smo mješoviti pristup - upitnik proveden među studentima i detaljan intervju proveden među nastavnicima. Rezultati pokazuju da godina studiranja nije značajan predskazivač razine straha od komunikacije koju studenti doživljavaju. Među svim varijablama uključenima u analizu, jedini značajni predskazivači straha od komunikacije su procjene.
