A study on the relationship between out-of-class English learning phenomena and affective variables of Korean English learners through digital media

This study examines the relationship between out-of-class English learning phenomena and affective variables of Korean English learners through digital media. In total, 104 university students participated in the study and filled out the questionnaires developed to measure the participants’ usage of digital media for productive and receptive English learning as well as to measure affective variables (grit, motivation, self-confidence, and anxiety) in English learning. The results from One way ANOVA analysis showed that there are statistical differences among the participants in both receptive and productive English learning through digital media and that there are also statistical differences among the participants in affective variables except for self-confidence. The results from multiple regression analysis revealed that self-confidence is the only significant variable explaining both productive and receptive English learning with digital media whereas motivation has an effect on receptive English learning with digital media. Implications of the findings and suggestions for further studies are presented. (152 words)
