Shuneng Zhong; Yabing Wang; Wangjiao Wu – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2024

Anamaria Bodea; Pavel Trofimovich – Language Learning Journal, 2024
This study explored the notion of flow, which refers to a person's sense of being completely absorbed in a task, as it applies to second language (L2) learning and use. Previously, flow has been mainly examined through researcher-generated descriptions to which learners reacted using Likert-type scales. In this study, we examined flow through the…

There is insufficient scholarship on this construct at undergraduate levels. To bridge this gap, the present study employed a phenomenographic design to uncover Iranian undergraduate students' perceptions…

Wilang, Jeffrey Dawala – Arab World English Journal, 2022
Studies on positive emotions in language learning have increased over the years.

This paper aims to know the antecedents of gratitude and its constructs in English as a foreign language context. Nineteen…

Yi Li; Xinpeng Wang – SAGE Open, 2023
There is evidence that emotion induced in the process of encoding impairs associative memory, yet the effect of post-encoding emotion on second language vocabulary learning remains largely unclear. An experiment was carried out to examine the effects of post-encoding emotion (positive, negative, and neutral) on learning of multidimensional…

Sampson, Richard J. – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2022
While perennial in the research landscape, empirical work investigating second language (L2) study emotions has proliferated in the past ten years (Dewaele, 2019).
