The Foreign Language Anxiety and Self Coping Strategies of Chinese Language Learners in Vietnam
International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, Paper presented at the International Conference on Research in Education and Science (ICRES) (Cappadocia, Turkey, May 18-21, 2023)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the sources of Chinese learning anxiety among Chinese learners in Vietnam and the strategies and methods used to cope with anxiety. Based on the findings, we suggest effective strategies to relieve learners' learning anxiety caused by different anxiety-inducing situations. The results of this study showed that (1) seven factors, namely learners' own anxiety, teachers, peers, the characteristics of the Chinese language itself, fear of making mistakes, test anxiety and the learning environment, were the main causes of Chinese learners' anxiety. (2) When Chinese learners face anxiety, they try to cope with it through independent learning and seeking assistance from teachers. In addition, because Chinese is a challenging language, they also constantly adjust their feelings to face the learning tasks, strengthen their motivation to overcome anxiety, and increase their self-confidence in learning Chinese through repeated practice.
