A Study of Coping Strategies for Overseas Students Speaking Anxiety in Cross-Cultural Contexts
Abstract
This study aims to explore the problem of speaking anxiety faced by overseas students in cross-cultural context and their coping
strategies. By using questionnaires and in-depth interviews, the phenomenon of speaking anxiety and its countermeasures were studied in 200
international students. The results show that international students speaking anxiety mainly stems from the lack of confidence in language
ability, the fear of failure, and the differences with the native culture. Coping strategies include active participation in language practice, seeking social and psychological support, and developing intercultural adaptability. This study not only reveals the complexity of speaking anxiety
in intercultural communication, but also provides educators and international students with targeted strategies to reduce speaking anxiety and
promote language learning.
