Аннотация

Несмотря на то, что тревожность в контексте изучения иностранного языка достаточно хорошо изучена, тревожность, испытываемая преподавателями иностранного языка, которые являются важными участниками образовательного процесса и сами изучают язык, исследована недостаточно. В основном работы в этой области посвящены тревожности у изучающих иностранный язык, однако исследований, посвященных контекстуализации тревожности при преподавании иностранного языка (ТПИЯ), сравнительно мало. Кроме того, в имеющихся научных исследованиях представлено мало попыток измерения ТПИЯ. В этой связи цель данной статьи заключается в представлении предварительных результатов валидности и надежности шкалы тревожности при обучении иностранному языку. Предварительный опросник и сама шкала были предложены 100 старшим преподавателям английского языка как иностранного, после чего были проведены анализ надежности Альфа Кронбаха и эксплораторный факторный анализ. Результаты показали, что шкала имеет высокий коэффициент надежности и внутреннюю согласованность, измеряя исследуемую переменную пятью факторами. В конце статьи приводятся рекомендации для дальнейших исследований.
