Abstract: Abstract for thesis entitled A study of the effect of anxiety in a drama-oriented second language classroom Submitted by Carollia K. W. Fung for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics at the University of Hong Kong August, 2005 This study investigates the effect of anxiety in a drama-oriented second language classroom. It aims to explore the issue of anxiety by looking at whether drama activities reduce or cause anxiety in a second language classroom, the sources of anxiety and students' coping strategies in a drama-oriented second language classroom. Participants of the study were thirty-seven form one students in an EMI (English as the medium of instruction) secondary school in Hong Kong. The participants were asked to keep journals. Questionnaires were distributed to students after 10 drama lessons. Follow-up individual interviews were conducted to further explore students' views. Findings of this study indicated that most students experienced a low level of anxiety in the drama-oriented second language classroom. However, a minority of them expressed that they felt nervous in the lessons from time to time. The results showed that the effect of anxiety on students varied. It was also found that major sources of students' anxiety in a drama-oriented second language classroom were insufficient time to answer teachers' questions in the class, pronouncing difficult words, being singled out without preparation and being assessed by the drama tutor. This result was generally in line with past studies. Role play was found to be an activity causing a low level of anxiety in this study. This result differs from those conducted in a regular second language classroom. iStudents in this study were generally aware of their anxiety and tried to look for coping strategies. The results indicated that major strategies were actively encouraging oneself to take wise risks in language learning, trying to relax when feeling anxious, positive self-talk and practice in private. ii DOI: 10.5353/th_b3168196 Subjects: Speech anxiety English drama - Study and teaching (Secondary) - China - Hong Kong Second language acquisition - China - Hong Kong Junior high school students - Attitudes
