Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This research explored the experience of second language anxiety in the Core French classroom. I focused primarily on the educator perspective of how to recognize and respond to this anxiety in an effort to reduce students’ experiences of second language anxiety in the classroom. To collect data for this research, I began by conducting a review of the available literature on the topic of second language anxiety, both in FSL classes in Ontario as well as in a wider global context. I then conducted semi-structured interviews with three experienced Core French teachers in order to gather first-hand information. The analysis of this data led to several key findings, including participants’ observed indicators of second language anxiety in their students, strategies and resources used by participants in an effort to reduce student experiences of second language anxiety, observed outcomes of participants’ strategies as well as the barriers that are hindering participants’ abilities to effectively respond to and prevent second language anxiety in the Core French classroom.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
