Studies looking into second language development have shown that findings about a group of learners cannot be transferred to individual learners. In this study, we explored ways to meaningfully group individuals starting from the data and investigated whether this grouping can give extra information about learning trajectories that goes beyond the…

Research on self-assessment has overwhelmingly conceptualized it as a product and treated students as a homogeneous group, restraining our understanding of the topic. To address this gap, this study aimed to identify different student profiles based on their self-assessment and to examine how it related to their learning achievement over time.…

To gain a deeper understanding of the complexity of foreign language anxiety (FLA), researchers have leveraged various quantitative and qualitative methods. Considering quantitative methods, researchers have mostly used variable-centered approaches to examine the relationships between FLA and other variables. However, less attention has been given…
