STUDY Two
In the case of extramural speaking anxiety, the results of the regression
analysis revealed that altogether four EE activities explain 13% of the L2 speak¬
ing anxiety experienced by learners outside the EFL classroom. All four activ¬
ities proved to be a significant predictor of anxiety at the p<.05 level of signif¬
icance (see Table 36).
Similar to classroom anxiety, in terms of extramural anxiety, chatting and
watching videos on YouTube as well as reading paper-based content were found
to have a negative impact on anxiety, meaning that the more someone engag¬
es in these activities, the less anxious they are in an extramural environment
when they have to speak English. In the case of TikTok, similar to in-school
anxiety, a positive correlation was identified, which means that the more Tik¬
Tok content someone consumes, the more anxious they are when they have to
speak English outside of school. Here, too, an explanation for this could be the
fact that TikTok is more of a lonely activity and that those who do not create
content on TikTok but only consume it are more likely to be more introverted
individuals (Bhandari-Bimo 2020).

It was also investigated whether EE activities have an impact on in-class WTC
through regression analysis. The results of the analysis show that altogether
four EE activities explain 20% of in-class WTC. These activities proved to be
a significant predictor of in-class WTC at the p<.05 level of significance (see
Table 37).
