description | In the past decade, several studies have been conducted to investigate communication apprehension (CA) among learners of new languages. In the literature, communication
apprehension was investigated among different learners of languages from different backgrounds
and nationalities including Iran and the USA. Unfortunately, very few studies have been
conducted among Libyan learners of English in general and Libyan postgraduate students in
particular. The main goal of this study is to investigate whether oral communication
apprehension exists among Libyan postgraduate students in CAS UUM.If so, what strategies do
they adopt to overcome their oral communication apprehension.Two questionnaires designed by
Horwitz et al., (1986) and Kondo & Ling (2004). The participants in this study consist of sixty
eight (68) males and five (5) females, 2nd semester Libyan postgraduate students at UUM. The
results revealed that most of the Libyan postgraduate students in CAS UUM have the feeling of oral communication apprehension in the classroom and that they adopt different strategies to deal with the apprehension. |
