    Investigation of the reconceptualized L2 motivational self system, foreign language classroom anxiety, perceived wellness, and achievement of repeat and non-repeat students
    (2020-06) Ayhan, Anıl
    The purpose of this study is to examine how repeat and non-repeat students differ in terms of their R-L2MSS, FLCA, and PW. Furthermore, it is investigated how R L2MSS, FLCA, and PW correlate with each other, and what factors can predict student achievement. The survey used in the study was a combination of R-L2MSS (Peker, 2016), FLCAS (Horwitz, Horwitz, & Cope, 1986), and PWS (Adams, Bezner, & Steinhardt, 1997) scales. Participants in the study were 164 students enrolled in an English preparatory school program of a foundation university in Ankara, Turkey. Independent t-tests, Pearson’s correlation tests, and a multiple linear regression test were used to analyse the quantitative data obtained for the current study. Results showed that repeat students had higher levels of PW compared to non repeat students. In addition, correlation tests showed that students with higher OL2S or FL2S had higher levels of FLCA while students with higher IL2S, or better ELE had lower levels of FLCA. FLCA was also found to be the only construct that predicted midterm scores. In line with these findings, implications were provided.

    A structural equation model on translanguaging practices, foreign language classroom anxiety, reconceptualized L2 motivational self system, and foreign language achievement of emergent bilinguals
    (2020-06) Özkaynak, Onur
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between translanguaging practices, foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA), reconceptualized L2 motivational self system (R-L2MSS), and English language achievement scores of emergent bilinguals. To this end, 386 A1 and A2-level English learners, studying at a preparatory school of a university in Turkey, took part in the study. The quantitative data were derived through a 45-item survey. First, an exploratory factor analysis performed on the responses to the Translanguaging Practices Scale and two factors were obtained. Subsequently, the whole data were adapted and tested for measurement model validity and reliability. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) results, analyzed in Smart PLS (Version 3.2.9), revealed there was a statistically significant relationship between translanguaging practices, foreign language classroom anxiety, and reconceptualized L2 motivational self system. However, the relationship between translanguaging practices and English language achievement scores was not statistically significant.
