Les sujets ont évalué leur compétence langagière en anglais et en français de manière différente. Les étudiants francophones et les étudiants mixtes se sentent compétents de manière égale dans les deux langues alors que les étudiants anglophones évoquent un niveau de compétence en Anglais bien supérieur à celui du Français. L’anxiété latente et les perceptions de la compétence languagière étaient associées négativement seulement chez les étudiants anglophones.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nWith increased globalization, many people have realized that knowing more than one language is highly valuable in both personal and professional spheres. Second language learning increased over the course of the 1970s, with enrollment in a foreign language class becoming an essential part of college students’ programs of study beginning in the 1980s (Ortega, 2001) . Partly because of the increasing importance of second language acquisition, many researchers have investigated the difficulties that people encounter in second language learning (Bailey, Daley, & Onwuegbuzie, 1999; Bailey, Onwuegbuzie, & Daley, 1998; Campbell & Ortiz, 1991; Gardner & MacIntyre, 1993; MacIntyre & Gardner, 1991a; Onwuegbuzie, Bailey & Daley, 1999a; Young, 1991). According to this research, anxiety may be a part of the difficulty that learners have in acquiring another language; however, there are some studies that appear to indicate that there are various types of anxiety and that it can be beneficial (Kleinmann, 1977) . Kleinmann found that facilitating anxiety, as measured by the Halpern self-report questionnaire, helped foreign language students by encouraging them to use difficult new structures in the second language. There are divergent views regarding the role of anxiety in second language  \nThe Canadian Journal of Higher Education Volume XXXV, No. 4, 2005  \nEducation Students’Anxiety and Perceived English and French Language Competence  \n3  \nacquisition. The study reported here is focused on manifest anxiety, selfassessment of language competence in English and French language situations, and the relationship between these two variables in university students among elementary and secondary education at Faculté Saint Jean, University of Alberta in a Francophone1 minority environment.  \nAnxiety  \nAnxiety may be manifest in various stressful situations (S","cbCain86qpwneaBb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain86qpwneaBb","pdf",91941,26,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Anxiety\n## Anxiety and Second Language Acquisition","[{\"question\":\"Which student groups were compared in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study compares Anglophone, Francophone, and Mixed-heritage education students.\"},{\"question\":\"How did perceived English and French language competence differ by group?\",\"answer\":\"Francophone and Mixed-heritage students reported equal competence in both languages, while Anglophone students reported much higher competence in English than in French.\"},{\"question\":\"How were manifest anxiety and language competence perceptions related?\",\"answer\":\"Manifest anxiety and self-assessed language competence were related only in the Anglophone group: higher anxiety aligned with lower French competence and higher English competence.\"}]","Anxiety and Perceived English and French Language Competence of Education Students | PDF",1792084728,66]
