Abstract

This study examined relationships among foreign language anxiety (FLA), cultural intelligence, and identity negotiation strategies—constructs rarely investigated together—among 1,045 Egyptian English as a foreign language (EFL) university learners from Al-Azhar University and Damanhour University. Participants completed the short-form foreign language classroom anxiety scale (S-FLCAS), the cultural intelligence scale, and the identity negotiation experiences and strategies scale (INES). Correlation analyses revealed significant negative relationships between FLA and both cultural intelligence dimensions: internalized cultural knowledge (ICK) (r=-.233, p<.01) and effective cultural flexibility (ECF) (r=-.208, p<.01). FLA showed positive correlations with identity-related strain (r=.177, p<.01), vigilance (r=.157, p<.01), and compartmentalization (r=.108, p<.01). Conversely, identity resources demonstrated a protective effect (r=-.160, p<.01). Multiple regression analyses indicated that cultural intelligence dimensions predicted 5.9% of FLA variance, while identity negotiation strategies explained 8.7%. These findings suggest that interventions targeting cultural intelligence training and identity negotiation resources can effectively reduce FLA. The study advances theoretical understanding by demonstrating how cultural competence and identity management jointly influence psychological experiences in language learning. Results carry important pedagogical implications: educators should implement intercultural awareness programs, create identity-affirmative classroom environments, and develop learners’ adaptive coping strategies to address anxiety comprehensively beyond traditional linguistic approaches.

Abstract

This study examined whether rapid automatized naming (RAN) training—a cognitive intervention focused on improving the speed and accuracy of naming visual stimuli—could effectively reduce foreign language anxiety (FLA) among dyslexic learners. Using a single-group pretest-posttest design with follow-up assessment, a 10-week RAN training intervention was implemented with 30 dyslexic students (18 males, 12 females; aged 13-14 years) from Egyptian preparatory institutes. The intervention consisted of individual 30-minute sessions conducted 3 times per week, systematically progressing from basic single-category naming tasks to complex mixed-category combinations designed to enhance processing fluency and automaticity. Using the foreign language classroom anxiety scale (FLCAS), anxiety levels were measured before intervention, immediately after, and at 8-week follow-up. Results revealed significant reductions in overall FLA (partial η²=.32), with particularly notable improvements in communication apprehension (partial η²=.33) and anxiety in the English classroom (partial η²=.29). Test anxiety showed initial improvement but returned to near-baseline levels at follow-up, while fear of negative evaluation remained largely unchanged. Results suggest that RAN training may be associated with reductions in FLA among dyslexic students, though causal relationships cannot be established without a control group.
