From the very beginning, Rosetta Stone gets learners speaking in real-life scenarios and offers online practice sessions with coaches who are native speakers - eliminating the need for homework, grammar drills or translation.
Moreover, language learning is an emotionally dynamic process which produces fluctuations in learners' speaking anxiety.
In addition, the findings indicated evidence for social, educational and cultural factors influencing learners' speaking anxiety.
We observed that there are fluctuations within the learners' speaking anxiety in a classroom session of 90 min.
To achieve this purpose, a null hypothesis was developed: opinion gap task does not enhance significantly Iranian intermediate EFL learners' speaking ability.
The results indicated that opinion gap task enhances Iranian intermediate EFL learners speaking ability, but not significantly enough to reject the stated null hypothesis.
This study aimed to explore the crux of the dynamicity of EFL learners' speaking anxiety using the ecological dynamic system theory.
Nonetheless, the results also show that learners' speaking skills at the beginning of the course were relatively good in comparison with the required level for the course.
Therefore, in exploring learners' speaking anxiety, we aim to explore the unpredictable patterns of anxiety within a nested interaction of ecosystems.
What are the ecosystemic factors bringing about anxiety in EFL learners' speaking from the points of view of complex dynamic system and nested ecosystems theories?
