Third grade pupils´ willingness to communicate and their perception of oral communication in English (English)
Abstract [sv]

Yngre elevers förhållning till muntlig kommunikation på engelska beskrivs oftast som oproblematiskt och att den förhållningen utgör en grogrund för språkligt självförtroende. Ändå ger elever uttryck för ett mer komplicerat förhållande till den egna muntliga engelska förmågan. Denna studie intresserar sig därför av att få en mer fördjupad förståelse gällande yngre elevers uppfattning av muntlig kommunikation på engelska och deras vilja att kommunicera på engelska. Studien undersöker detta utifrån ett elevperspektiv med en kombination av enkät- och intervjumetod. Den insamlade empirin utgörs av 18 tredjeklasselevers enkätsvar samt sju elevintervjuer. Vidare har empirin analyserats och tolkats utifrånWillingness to communicate-teorin, samt The Control-Value teorin. Resultatet av enkät- och intervjustudien visar att eleverna vilja att kommunicera beror på i vilket undervisningssammanhang den muntliga kommunikationen sker inom och elevens situationsbundna kommunikativa självförtroende. Vidare fann studien att läraren och klassrumsklimatet påverkar hur eleverna uppfattar den egna engelska förmågan och talmotivationen.  

Abstract [en]

Younger pupils’ relationship towards oral communication in English is often describes as unproblematic and that this relation paves the way for their linguistic self-confidence to flourish. Yet pupils’ own description of this relationship paints a much more nuanced picture. Because of this, the study has an interest in acquiringa deepened understanding of younger pupils’ perception of oral communication in English and their willingness to communicate in English. The study examines this from the pupils’ perspective with the help of a combined method of surveys and interviews. The data was collected from third grade pupils, of which 18 pupils participated in the survey and seven in the interviews. Further the empirical data has been analysed and interpreted with the help of the Willingness to communicate theory as well as The Control-Value theory. The result of the study shows that the pupils’ willingness to communicate is dependent on in which context the oral communication takes place and the pupil’s state communicative self-confident. The study also found that the teacher and the classroom climate influence how the pupil’s view their own English language competence and speaking motivation.
