La ansiedad al hablar es un factor afectivo crítico en la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras. El presente estudio analiza las causas principales de la ansiedad al hablar en el aprendizaje del inglés de negocios. Las entrevistas en profundidad que se han llevado a cabo entre los profesores del inglés de negocios y los alumnos de enseñanza superior en seis países de los Balcanes han identificado distintas causas de la ansiedad al hablar. Las más importantes son la falta de conocimientos en economía y el insuficiente léxico de los alumnos. Estos se consideran los principales obstáculos en la enseñanza del inglés de negocios, sobre todo cuando se les añaden otras causas tales como la necesidad de hablar delante del profesor sin preparación previa o los problemas de memorización del vocabulario. Una cuarta parte de los entrevistados que dicen tener una baja ansiedad al hablar el inglés general, han sido propensos a tener altos niveles de ansiedad al hablar cuando se han encontrado con tareas complejas en clase de inglés de negociosDescargas
