Abstract
This study explores the effects of mindfulness, resilience, and self-efficacy on foreign language anxiety among Chinese college students and identifies the most significant predictor of foreign language anxiety. Employing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 323 English as a foreign language students using validated scales measuring these variables. Pearson correlation analyses revealed significant negative correlations of self-efficacy (r=-0.538, p<0.01), resilience (r=-0.372, p<0.01), and mindfulness (r=-0.331, p<0.01) with foreign language anxiety. Multiple regression analysis indicated that self-efficacy was the most impactful variable for predicting foreign language anxiety, while mindfulness also significantly predicted foreign language anxiety, but resilience did not. These findings underscore the pivotal part played by self-efficacy in reducing foreign language anxiety and suggest that enhancing self-efficacy can improve language study experiences. The research offers meaningful understandings regarding the mechanisms of foreign language anxiety and offers practical recommendations for educators to implement strategies aimed at boosting students’ self-efficacy, with implications for future research and practice.
