Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety: Perceptions Of EFL When Working With Google Classroom As A Digital Platform
Abstract
This research focused on the effect of anxiety when learning English, defining whether the use of a digital platform fosters spontaneity in those who are practicing oral skills in that language. In this qualitative study, information was collected using a survey applied to 10 students who were immersed in an English course at a language institute. These young people took classes in both face-to-face and virtual sessions, using the Google Classroom platform. In conclusion, it was established that language teachers should take into account the emotional factors that particularly affect the development of oral language skills in a language, for which the use of platforms that provide tranquility to those who are consolidating the language is suggested.
