Arabic Speaking International Students' Attitudes In APA Classes Toward English Language Learning: An Australian Perspective
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 3
Abstract
Language learning is a fundamental pillar of human existence as it makes it plausible for people to express their dreams, opinions, and views. The only problem is that there are various factors that affect the process of foreign language learning in the Australian learning institutions. This research focuses on the study of how attitude affects the learning processes in EAP classrooms, which fundamentally involved Arabic speaking learners. A questionnaire is the primary data collection technique and SPSS statistical tool was used to analyse the data. The SPPS mean and standard deviation results show that there is a positive attitude by the participants towards English language learning as most of the scores were above average. However, the results also indicate that attitudes by Arabic speakers affect the language learning processes. Mainly, the results show that a big number of Arab students in EAP classes have positive attitudes towards learning English. Only a few of them have negative attitudes towards English language. In conclusion, it is recommended that more research should be conducted to offer data on the overall performance in the other subjects.
