Description
Summary:碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 應用外語研究所 === 97 === The purpose of the present study is to investigate the anxiety level, preferred learning styles and learning strategies used among English majored students in English speaking courses. The participants of this study were 251 students majored in Applied Foreign Languages at one university of technology in central Taiwan. The major instruments were two questionnaires, including The Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS), English Class Learning Strategies Questionnaire (ECLSQ) and learning style open-ended questionnaire. In the data collection, the participants’ anxiety level, learning styles and learning strategies were described in descriptive statistics. The differences on anxiety level, learning styles and learning strategies between day school/night school and male/female students were analyzed and computed by an Independent T-test. The results of this study indicated the anxiety level, major learning strategies and learning styles of the AFL students in CYUT. The findings of this research may provide enough information for the future curriculum design and also better understanding of the CYUT AFL students.
