Resumen

Este artículo examina la relación entre las variables que pueden afectar el deseo de comunicarse en inglés por parte de estudiantes de esta lengua. Los participantes son estudiantes universitarios de distintos grados de la Universidad de Oviedo. Se administraron un cuestionario elaborado para el estudio así como un test de inglés a los estudiantes entre febrero y marzo de 2013. El análisis de regresión muestra que la motivación de los estudiantes para aprender inglés está relacionada significativamente con su deseo de comunicarse en esa lengua. Descubrimos también que la competencia comunicativa auto percibida está relacionada de manera positiva con el deseo de comunicarse en inglés y de manera negativa con la ansiedad. Se observa además una relación significativa entre la competencia comunicativa auto-percibida y la competencia real en la lengua así como una diferencia de género en esta relación
