6.1. Conclusiones

Tenor of the citations: A publication that draws attention to the interrelationship between speaking anxiety and language learner self-management skills in both face-to-face and online contexts with their additional multimodal demands.

Hauck & Hurd (2005) [...] A contribution of the study is that it explores the kinds of anxiety that can arise within multimodal virtual learning spaces, especially in relation to the variety and simultaneity of modes available, and the extra dimension this adds to the need for learner self-management.

[...] good instruction and timely feedback to keep students on track are very helpful, as is suggested in studies pertaining to the link between language anxiety and learner self-management (Hauck and Hurd 2005).

Anxiety has been found to negatively influence speaking performance (Aida, 1994) and the ability to self-manage in online learning (Hauck & Hurd, 2005) [...] open learning environments can help students use self-management strategies to lower anxiety (Hauck & Hurd, 2005).

According to Hauck and Hurd (2005), materials in distance language learning play a central role as the teaching voice. [...] And to help students develop awareness of themselves and encourage an autonomous approach, learning strategy sections are embedded into the course materials and thus reflect an indirect and contextualized approach to strategy training. “The aim is gradually to shift the locus of control from teacher to learner and build learners'

confidence in taking an active part in their own learning” (Hauck and Hurd: 2005).

Speaking anxiety is relevant to online voice interaction in two ways ... speaking anxiety that learners potentially experience when talking online without sharing the same physical space with associated interpersonal clues ([...] Hampel, Felix, Hauck, and Coleman, 2005; Hauck and Hurd, 2005 [...]).

According to Hauck and Hurd, anxiety levels are likely to be lowered if students can learn in a non-threatening environment which encourages them to try things out and have fun, which builds confidence and promotes respect for different learning styles, approaches and personality traits.

The authors endorse Hauck and Hurd’s (2005) argument that learners’ self-management skills [...] can help reduce anxiety, … and that language learners need to develop an awareness of the origin of their emotions (positive and negative), including self, others and the context of

interaction…Those who believe in their effectiveness as learners, [...] set themselves higher learning goals and are determined to succeed regardless of the obstacle, be it of a linguistic, technical or affective nature (Hauck and Hurd 2005; Hampel and Hauck 2006).

Focusing on the distance learning environment, Harris (2003) and Hauck and Hurd, (2005) emphasise the importance of the learning site, life roles, and support for language learning. Some anxiety-related problems noted are fear of making mistakes, fear of not being understood, “freezing” when called on to speak in front of others, not matching up to expectations, and feeling too much is expected of oneself (Hauck and Hurd, 2005).

and the additional technological challenges they raise can lead to confusion and uncertainty, which can cause learning difficulty and anxiety for language learners (Hauck & Hurd, 2005).
