미얀마 한국어 학습자를 위한 감정 척도 개발 및 적용 방안 연구 -학습자의 감정 요인 중심으로- = A Study on Developing Affective Scales for Myanmar Korean Learners: Focusing on Emotional Factors

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study preliminarily developed and validated the KLES-M (Korean Language Enjoyment Scale for Myanmar Students) and KLCAS-M (Korean Language Classroom Anxiety Scale for Myanmar Students) to assess the emotional experiences of Myanmar learners of Korean. A survey with 238 learners used translated versions of the Foreign Language Enjoyment Scale (FLES) and Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS), adjusted based on Myanmar respondents’ feed-back and expert reviews to fit Myanmar’s cultural context. The results show that learners generally feel positive emotions, associated with academic progress and cultural activities as major sources of enjoyment. Although learners experience classroom anxiety, they manage it effectively, demonstrating resilience. These findings offer insights into improving Korean language education for Myanmar learners.
