| dc.description.abstract | Anxiety is assumed to be the changes that take place in any creature’s body at times responding to danger. This situation can even threaten the creature’s well-being. In the field of education, it has been proved that anxiety plays a major role in reducing the learning productivity of the learners. This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using humor in reducing the learners’ anxiety. For this, the researcher tried to raise the following questions:To what extent can the systematic and purposeful implementation of humor contribute to decreasing anxiety among EFL learners? And what is the perception of EFL teachers towards the use of humor in classes?To answer the research questions, the researcher adopted the quasi-experimental method; in which she used the post-test-only design representing the 7-GAD scale, which were addressed to third year middle school pupils and a questionnaire was addressed to six Middle School Teachers. During three sessions, some humorous techniques, which have been proved to be authentic and valid, have been used to test their effectiveness on the learner’s level of anxiety. The descriptive Statistical Method was used to analyze the data from 7-GAD Scale and teachers’ questionnaire.Then, the findings were represented statistically as percentages to be analyzed qualitatively and quantitavely. Moreover, the results revealed a support to the research’s hypothesis that using humor while teaching is so beneficial. At last, the researcher also suggested some recommendations by the end of the study. | en_US |
