Participants included 84 undergraduate university students (33 Chilean students enrolled at a small state university in Northern Chile; and 51 Russian students enrolled at a large state university in Moscow). Results indicate that: (a) Chilean students receiving instruction from Chilean professors perceive a significantly greater amount of instructor nonverbal immediacy than Russian students who receive instruction from Russian instructors; (b) Chilean students self-reporte significantly higher levels of Foreign Language Anxiety than their Russian counterparts; and (c) Foreign Language Anxiety is only slightly negatively correlated with one nonverbal teacher immediacy item in the Russian population and is not correlated with any items in the Chilean sample. Conclusions focus on the important role that culture plays in classroom language teaching and the implications for teacher training. 2006 artículo científico 0035-0451 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=157013770004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1570 Revista Signos application/pdf Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso Revista Signos (Chile) Num.62 Vol.39 |
