| Summary: | 碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 應用外語研究所 === 100 === Foreign language anxiety has an abating effect on EFL speakers’ oral performance. This study examined the perceptions of college students on their experience of speaking anxiety at different oral proficiency levels in an English oral training class. Seventy-eight English major students were recruited to participate in this study. The Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS), adapted from Horwitz, Horwitz, and Cope, (1986), was employed to explore how students experience speaking anxiety. Moreover, an E-portfolio was implemented as an instrument to examine whether the e-portfolio would enhance learners’ self-regulated learning and reduce speaking anxiety. The results showed a significant correlation between oral proficiency levels and speaking anxiety scores. Notably, through the e-portfolio, the participants showed evidence of self-regulated learning. The results also lead to suggestions for future research into the issues of English Speaking Anxiety.
