Although many studies of foreign language anxiety focus on the difficulties caused by anxiety with 民spect to classroom activities such as speaking and listening, this study investigates the possible relationship between general foreign language classroom anxietyσLCA) and foreign language reading anxiety (FLRA) in the ]apanese classroom. Using previously published measurement scales (the FLCAS and the FLRAS), this study seeks first to determine the reliability and validity of the individual scales across three difたrentgroups 泊nine intact ftrSt-semester Eng1ish classes (2ラ2studenお)ata ]apanese university. Based on this data, the possible relationships between the two theoretical construc臼of foreign language classroom an:xiety and foreign language reading anxiety, and the variable of cl錨s group are explored. The m凶白of the study sugg白t that although subcomponents of the two scales are related, overall FLCAS and FLRAS are meas町ing two clearly independent constructs. In addition, anxiety types measured also differed significantly depending on group membership. これまで外国語学習における不安(出立iety) はスピーキングやリスニング などのクラス活動の分野に重点を置いて研究されてきたが、この研究では、外 国語のクラスにおける一般的な不安(F工CA)と外国語のリーディングに対する不 安(FL恥生)に相関関係があるかを探った。既存の測定尺度(FLCAS とFLRAS) を 用い、日本の大学生( 1 年生から3 年生までの252 人)を対象に、まず各尺 度の信用性と有効性を調べた。そのデータを基に、外国語のクラスに対する不 安(FLCA)と外国語のリーディングに対する不安(FLRA)というこつの理論上の 構成体には相関関係があるか、そして不安の型には学年による違いが見られる かを分析した。その結果、FLCAS とFLRAS は細部では関連が見られるものの、 全体としては明確に独立した構成体であること、不安の型には学年によって顕 著な違いが見られることがわかった。
