The lack of fulfilment of expectations results in lower performance, anxiety, and disruptive classroom behavior. The presenters use structural equation modeling to investigate the influences of language learning attitudes, motivation, anxiety, and strategies on EFL proficiency among college students in Japan. After discussing the limitations and implications of this project, the researchers offer suggestions for further research. EFL students learn to handle media English from newspapers, TV broadcasts, and the Internet. The syllabus, lesson plans, and tasks are shown.
