There are only a limited number of studies that focus on the effects of L2 anxiety on prosody. (Baran-Łucarz, 2011; Szyszka, 2011) This study aims to explore objectively whether shyness and communication apprehension (CA) in both L1 and L2 affect pitch at the word level in English oral reading and spontaneous speech based on physiological and acoustic analyses. The participants were 38 university students (14 males, 24 females). The study utilized three questionnaires to measure shyness (Trait Shyness Scale), L1 CA (the Personal Report of Communication Apprehension), and L2 CA (8 items from the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety) along with the Versant speaking test to examine oral proficiency. The procedure was as follows: The study participant was instructed to wear a smartwatch to measure heart rate (HR) and complete a series of tasks. These tasks included reading an English text, reading a Japanese version of the same text, reading the original English text again, speaking about a personal happy experience for one minute, and completing questionnaires. Comparative analyses were conducted on the first English reading, the second English reading, and the spontaneous speech. The target word for analysis was ‘happy’, which was extracted from both the English passage and the spontaneous speech. The significant findings include : 1) Participants with higher levels of CA in public speech did not exhibit any changes between the first and second readings and displayed the highest heart rate (HR) during spontaneous speech. 2) Participants with higher levels of CA in their second language (L2) exhibited a narrower pitch range during spontaneous speech than those with lower CA in L2. These results suggest that individuals with higher levels of anxiety feel nervous during the first, second readings, and spontaneous speech, and appear to be less proficient in word stress.
