        This study intended to unveil the impact of incorporation of positive psychology theory into English instructions on the preference for anxiety-reducing strategies among Iranian EFL learners. The participants consisted of 60 EFL learners, from Safir Institute, Tehran, Iran, at the intermediate level, who were selected out of 90 EFL learners selected on convenience sampling basis. The 60 learners selected on the basis of their scores from an Oxford Placement Test (OPT), given to the 90 learners, were split into two equal 30-member groups. Both groups were given the language anxiety reducing strategies (LARS) questionnaire as pretest. Then, positive psychology-based instructions were provided to the experimental group drawing on five types of positive psychology-based instruction techniques for 20 sessions. These five instruction techniques included gratitude, optimistic intervention, positive affirmations, savouring, and strength-building measures. The control group received no intervention concerning positive psychology, and learners followed the conventional syllabus of the language school. After the treatment, the two groups took the LARS questionnaire as post-test. The results of ANCOVA indicated that teaching positive psychology techniques significantly increased anxiety-reducing strategies preference among Iranian EFL learners. تفاصيل المقالة

        This study explored the effectiveness of the two computer-assisted modes: cooperative and individual on improving Iranian high school students’ reading comprehension. It was also concerned with investigating the effectiveness of the two computer-assisted modes on the participants’ foreign language learning anxiety (FLLA). The sample of the study consisted of two intact groups, each containing 24 students, which were randomly assigned into a control and an experimental group. The control group completed the study according to the individual computer-assisted learning while the experimental group was taught via computer-assisted cooperative language learning. The participants in the experimental and the control groups, which consisted of 48 female students, took reading comprehension pretest and posttest. They were also given foreign language classroom anxiety scale (FLCAS) questionnaire both at the beginning and at the end of the treatment. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 16.0. The results of the independent and paired samples t tests indicated that the experimental group, in which cooperative learning was integrated into computer-assisted language learning, outperformed the control group in terms of reading comprehension. In addition, the level of foreign language anxiety improved after the treatment in the experimental group. The findings of this study provide some insights for teachers to consider the integrating of cooperative learning into computer-assisted language learning setting. تفاصيل المقالة

        The study examined language learning anxiety factors, hindering EFL learners’ process of learning, particularly in speaking settings and recommended useful approaches to cope with it. Using the quantitative approach as well as a qualitative semi-structured interview and focus-group discussion method, this study tried to examine the factors behind language anxiety among Iranian language learners both in the classroom and in the social context. 100 TEFL students participated in this study. The language proficiency was measured by TOEFL IBT test to make sure that the students were homogeneous. The findings suggested a variety of approaches to cope with language anxiety. It also revealed that there was a significant relationship between the participants’ language anxiety and their language proficiency. The results of the interviews showed that the teachers had a key role in increasing and decreasing the students’ language anxiety concerning psychosocial linguistic factors. The findings of the study can be helpful for providing some teacher-training courses, teaching language teachers some effective psychological techniques to decrease language learning anxiety factors, improving language learning process.Keywords: language le تفاصيل المقالة

        This study aimed at investigating the prominence of language learning anxiety as the hindering factor that debilitates learning process and is to be managed successfully through Storch model (2002). The four phases of Storch Model should not be considered fixed and stable; hence, they could be behaved dynamically. The present study conducted in delving into the issue by having randomly assigned two identical groups of 23 intermediate EFL learners at Islamic Azad University as the control group and experimental one. The participants were all majoring at English translation discipline and participated in a conversation course. The study was in pre-test post-test design and learning anxiety questionnaire was administered before and after the treatment. The experimental group received treatment according to the dynamicity stance of Storch’s (2002) patterns of interaction coding scheme as: collaborative, expert/novice, dominant/dominant, and dominant/passive. The experimental group outperformed the control group. The findings showed that the application of dynamicity approach towards Storch model would diminish the learning anxiety index to a large extent. The results embracing Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory along the pedagogical implication would be beneficial for teachers, syllabus designers and materials developers in TEFL field. تفاصيل المقالة

        This explanatory sequential mixed-method study investigates the effect of online synchronous language learning through using Adobe Connect's breakout rooms on vocabulary learning and language learning anxiety of 60 ESP learners selected through convenience sampling from Kashan University of Medical Sciences. Moreover, it explores the learners' perceptions of the effectiveness of this kind of instruction. Initially, the participants were randomly assigned to the equal experimental (Adobe breakout rooms) and control (in-person) groups after checking homogeneity regarding English proficiency level. During the 13 treatment sessions, the experimental group engaged in collaborative vocabulary tasks online through breakout rooms. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected using a developed test of vocabulary, the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Questionnaire, and the semi-structured interview and then were analyzed using two-way ANCOVA by SPSS 20 and thematic analysis by MAXQDA 2024, respectively. Findings revealed that online learning improved learners' vocabulary learning but did not significantly reduce their anxiety due to the system's technical issues. However, learners viewed online instruction positively, noting benefits like enriched vocabulary acquisition through active engagement and real-time feedback, and reduced anxiety by providing a calm, focused, and supportive environment. Moreover, results showed that gender differences did not significantly affect vocabulary acquisition or anxiety. These findings can guide teachers and curriculum developers in using virtual instruction effectively in ESP contexts. تفاصيل المقالة
