  1. Toward Technology-Based Education and English as a Foreign Language Motivation: A Review of Literature. [REVIEW]Yi Wei - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    This review examined the studies on the role of technology-based English as a foreign language academic motivation. A significant positive correlation between academic motivation and educational technology use has been approved in related studies. However, there is a dire need for studying the effect of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning and Computer-Assisted Language Learning on learners’ motivation. The literature showed that purposeful attractiveness, effectiveness, and usefulness of digital instruments can positively affect learner motivation. There are also some reasons for increasing learner motivation (...)

  • Conceptualization and Measurement of Flow in a Chinese Blended English as a Foreign Language Learning Context.Xin Wang & Chenguang Huang - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    This study takes a holistic view of flow and anti-flow experiences as interactive subsystems in blended English as a foreign language learning and examines the dynamic complex construct in the field of instructed second language acquisition. We first rephrased the 22-item Classroom Flow Questionnaire to better reflect the context of blended EFL learning. The modified CFQ was then administered to 661 first language Chinese EFL learners. A final 14-item Foreign Language Flow Scale was developed based on results from a series (...)

  • English as a Foreign Language Teacher Flow: How Do Personality and Emotional Intelligence Factor in?Alireza Sobhanmanesh - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    Teaching is one of the professions that creates opportunities for individuals to experience flow, a state of complete absorption in an activity. However, very few studies have examined ESL/EFL teachers’ flow states inside or outside the classroom. As such, this study aimed to explore the quality of experience of 75 EFL teachers in flow and also examine the relationships between their emotional intelligence, the Big Five personality traits and the flow state. To this end, the teachers filled out recurrent flow (...)

  • Emotions and Instructed Language Learning: Proposing a Second Language Emotions and Positive Psychology Model.Kaiqi Shao, Laura J. Nicholson, Gulsah Kutuk & Fei Lei - 2020 - Frontiers in Psychology 11.
    Although emotion research and positive psychology have recently gained strong momentum in the field of second language acquisition, theoretical models linking language emotion and PP research, which offer insights for both research and intervention practice are lacking. To address this gap, the present article first introduces the origin, concept, and research around PP. Next, it summarizes recent research on PP and emotions in SLA. Finally, by triangulating emotion theories and research in the fields of psychology, education, and SLA, we propose (...)

  • Trait Emotional Intelligence in Surgeons.K. V. Petrides, Matheus F. Perazzo, Pablo A. Pérez-Díaz, Steve Jeffrey, Helen C. Richardson, Nick Sevdalis & Noweed Ahmad - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    Trait emotional intelligence concerns people’s perceptions of their emotional functioning. Two studies investigated this construct in surgeons and comparison occupations. We hypothesized that trait EI profiles would differ both within surgical specialties as well as between them and other professions. Study 1 compared the trait EI profiles of four different surgical specialties. There were no significant differences amongst these specialties or between consultant surgeons and trainees in these specialties. Accordingly, the surgical data were combined into a single target sample that (...)

  • How Does the Optimism of Students Learning a Foreign Language Affect Their Creative Self-Efficacy? The Mediating Effects of Hope and Empathy.Fei Lei & Lin Lei - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    Creative self-efficacy is a core influencer of creative behavior and has a positive impact on well-being and development. However, the positive psychological processes that help to promote CSE in foreign-language learning remain under-studied. Focusing specifically on FLL students, the present study examined the associations among optimism, hope, empathy, and CSE and investigated the possible mediating roles of hope and empathy in the relationship between optimism and CSE. A sample of 330 FLL students from two Chinese universities participated in this study. (...)

  • The Predictive Effects of Gender and Academic Discipline on Foreign Language Enjoyment of Chinese High School Students.Jian Huang & Guiying Jiang - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 12.
    Foreign Language Enjoyment plays a facilitative role in FL learning and its contributing factors have been the object of scholarly attention in the Positive Psychology approach to second language acquisition. The present study examined the predictive effects of gender and academic discipline on overall FLE and each of its subcomponents in a specific Chinese EFL context. Statistical analyses based on a sample of 1,718 high school students showed that: female students scored significantly higher in overall FLE, FLE-Private, and FLE-Atmosphere than (...)

  • Taking a Fresh Look at Foreign Language Enjoyment Research in SLA: Current Status, Future Directions, and Pedagogical Implications.Yunxian Guo & Yexiang Qiu - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 12.
    Foreign Language Enjoyment, as the most prevalent positive emotion predicting L2 learners' academic performance and well-being, and a critical factor contributing to the creation of positive micro-institutions, has received remarkable scholarly attention across the globe in the past eight years. Despite the fact that FLE is the most extensively investigated positive emotion and extant research has yielded rich and invaluable findings, it is far from being adequately studied, leaving vast lacunas to be explored. Therefore, this conceptual review article is written (...)

  • Emotional-based pedagogy and facilitating EFL learners' perceived flow in online education.Parisa Abdolrezapour & Nasim Ghanbari - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    Given the fundamental role of emotional intelligence in learning, especially in virtual learning contexts where individuals experience more stress and anxiety, the need to understand and recognize one's own feelings and the mutual feelings of peers has gained more importance. Flow as the ultimate state in harnessing emotions in the service of performance and learning has been introduced as the main reason for one's willingness to perform activities which are connected to no external motivation. In this regard, the present study (...)
