520 $a The purpose of this study was to examine the foreign language anxieties and anxiety management strategies of community college students. The subjects were summer Spanish students in first through fourth semester classes at a large community college.
520 $a This mean anxiety level of this population (103.52) was higher than other groups whose anxiety level had been measured with the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (Horwitz, 1983b). This moderately high anxiety score was attributed to the stressful nature of summer sessions and to the fact that many of the subjects were anxious students attempting to avoid highly demanding language courses at a nearby university.
520 $a Concerns about speaking, primarily consisting of the fear of making errors and losing others' esteem, accounted for more than two thirds of the students' in-class anxieties and about 22% of their outside-class anxieties. Approximately 38% of their outside-class anxieties and 17% of their in-class anxieties had to do with testing, including concerns about preparedness, grades, and the format and validity of tests. Additionally, approximately 14% of their outside-class anxieties involved homework or other written work. The subjects voiced concerns about their heavy homework load and mentioned feeling frustrated when completing difficult assignments.
520 $a By far the most frequently mentioned strategy for coping with in-class or outside-class anxieties was studying. Additionally, students used strategies such as performing the unpleasant task, avoiding the unpleasant task, deep breathing, relaxation, self-distraction, positive self-talk, and asking others for help or encouragement.
520 $a The students judged most strategies to be useful. Doing nothing was found to be the least successful strategy for combating anxiety. A number of students also reported that avoiding unpleasant tasks while outside of class failed to mitigate their anxieties.
520 $a The students also mentioned a number of situations in which they did not feel nervous, and discussed various ways teachers and schools could help diminish their anxieties.
