Abstract

Para pelajar di Malaysia secara umumnya, tidak dapat menguasai bahasa Inggeris dengan baik walaupun pada hakikatnya mereka telah didedahkan kepada bahasa Inggeris sejak dari prasekolah lagi. Keadaan ini agak membimbangkan untuk generasi akan datang kerana kini terdapat ramai pelajar sedang berjuang dengan bahasa Inggeris, yang merupakan bahasa kedua di negara ini. Perasaan risau tentang persepsi masyarakat boleh menjadi faktor penyumbang kepada kebimbangan pelajar untuk bertutur dalam bahasa Inggeris (second language anxiety). Dengan itu, kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengkaji hubungan antara kebimbangan berbahasa Inggeris dan tahap penguasaan bahasa Inggeris dalam kalangan pelajar Sarjana Muda Pengajian Bahasa Inggeris, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). Selain dari itu, kajian ini juga bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti faktor-faktor yang menyumbang kepada kebimbangan mereka untuk bertutur dalam bahasa Inggeris. 80 pelajar dari sebuah universiti awam telah dipilih untuk menyertai kajian ini. Pengumpulan data telah dilaksanakan menggunakan soal selidik, dan data dianalisis dengan menggunakan perisian Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), yang membolehkan analisis data statistik dijalankan dengan terperinci. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa pelajar ELS memperlihatkan kebimbangan bertutur pada tahap yang sederhana dan faktor utama yang paling berperanan dalam kebimbangan berbahasa Inggeris dalam lingkaran pelajar ELS di UKM adalah keresahan menghadapi ujian.
