Abstract

ABSTRAK

 

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti kebimbangan terhadap penggunaan bahasa Inggeris dalam kalangan pelajar Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Selain itu, ia juga bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan antara penghargaan kendiri dan antara tret-tret personaliti (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism). Maklumat kajian diperoleh melalui Big Five Personality Inventory, Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale dan Culture Free Self-Esteem Inventory. Perisian SPSS versi 16.0 Windows telah di gunakan untuk menganalisis data. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa terdapat hubungan antara sub skala Neuroticism dan Extraversion dengan tahap kebimbangan, manakala sub skala Openness, Agreeableness, dan Conscientiousness, bangsa, dan penghargaan kendiri tidak ada hubungan dengan tahap kebimbangan terhadap bahasa Inggeris. Selain itu tidak terdapat perbezaan tahap kebimbangan dengan jantina. Kajian juga mendapati personaliti adalah salah satu faktor yang mempunyai kaitan dengan tahap kebimbangan dalam menguasai bahasa Inggeris. Pembudayaan membiasakan bertutur dalam bahasa Inggeris adalah bermula sejak awal lagi sama ada di rumah atau di sekolah, tetapi bagi yang baru dan ingin membiasakannya mungkin memberi kesan pada tahap kebimbangan. Peranan Kolej kediaman melalui English Speaking Zone telah membantu menyediakan suasana dan persekitaran yang kondusif dalam membudayakan pelajar berkomunikasi antara satu sama lain melalui penggunaan bahasa Inggeris.
