Interaction between CSL students' motivation and anxiety under different L2 writing tasks: evidence from Vietnamese university students.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Improving task motivation can reduce anxiety and enhance the efficiency of second language (L2) learning. However, previous research has not determined whether the relationship between task motivation and anxiety is unidirectional facilitation or bidirectional interaction. The reasons for these "relationships" and their impact on L2 learning have not been analysed in depth yet.

Methods

This study investigated the interaction between task motivation and anxiety via qualitative and quantitative research methods with the participation of 229 Vietnamese university students, who were divided into three L2 writing task groups, including the free choice group (FC), the limited choice group (LC), and the no choice group (NC).

Results

The quantitative results show
