Come and join Nagoya JALT for our December presentation. The title is “Help Me Hear What I Can See: Reading While Listening, Self-Efficacy Sources and Foreign Language Anxiety in the EFL Classroom”. It will be presented by Heather Doiron.
This presentation explores the notion that a reading-while-listening (RWL) approach activates student sources of self-efficacy (SES) and consequently mediates a reduction in foreign language anxiety (FLA) in the EFL classroom. This presentation will review relevant literature to demonstrate the interdependent and iterative nature of RWL and SES and how their combined impact potentially influences FLA. It will conclude with a brief overview of the relevance of SES in EFL learning environments and how the combination of SES and RWL is important for FLA reduction.
The event will be held on December 9 from 6:30 to 7:30 at the Nagoya International Center, 4th Floor. It is free for members and students, and 1,000 yen for non-members.
Then join us afterward for our Bonenkai at Gyoza no Haha from 8 pm and 10 pm. Join us for this two-hour party to eat, drink, and enjoy the wonderful company. The cost is 3,500 yen and there is a 15-person limit. Please register here: https://forms.gle/QdXnQFjQ2UdPxSAW9
