Abstract

Given the affective turn in the second-language (L2) research and the vital roles of L2 grit and L2 hope in learners’ academic achievement, this quantitative study aimed to explore Chinese senior high students’ L2 grit and L2 hope and examine whether there were possible correlations among the two variables and their components. 335 Chinese senior high students completed the questionnaire. Participants reported moderate levels of global L2 grit and L2 hope, but high levels of consistency of interest (COI). Additionally, no statistically significant gender difference could be observed among variables under investigation, while a statistically significant grade-level difference emerged in global L2 grit and global L2 hope, particularly in perseverance of effort (POE) and pathway. Furthermore, global L2 grit positively correlated with global L2 hope with a small-to-medium effect size. Among components of global L2 grit, POE exhibited the strongest association with L2 hope and its components. These findings extend the positive psychology framework in L2 research by highlighting the close link between L2 grit and L2 hope. Practically, the results suggest that English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) instructors, particularly within the high-intensity examination-oriented educational settings, should spotlight EFL learners’ positive psychological traits in daily teaching practices to promote learners’ well-being during their learning journey.

Abstract

English Learning Enjoyment (ELE) potentially sustains students’ motivation of English learning, especially under China’s fresh context where National English Curriculum Standards for Senior High Schools issued in 2017 has directed teachers to cultivate students’ core competencies of English as a subject. Its theoretical framework was established by Dewaele and MacIntyre (2014) on Foreign Language Enjoyment (FLE) and then subcategorized by Li Chengchen et al. (2018) into ELE-Private, ELE-Teacher, and ELE-Atmosphere. The three dimensions have thus made it possible for the following quantitative research, where an enormous space remains on senior high school students in China, despite exhaustive studies beforehand with either overseas background or distinctive educational contexts. This quantitative study will concentrate on the general levels of ELE, both overall and for each dimension. Thus with Li Chengchen et al.’s (2018) ELE Scale came the investigations of 351 senior high school students of all grades with diverse academic levels, whose data were analyzed through SPSS in terms of general levels (both mean values and standard differentiations). The results have looked at an intermediate and converging level of Overall ELE with a more prominent level of ELE-Teacher than ELE-Private and ELE-Atmosphere. Inspired by the results comes a disclosure of students’ positivity in English learning under the guise of their inclination to teachers’ efforts instead of automatic drive or constructive environment for authentic language development. Thus an integrated approach is recommended by dint of an elaborate picture of ELE-Private and ELE-Atmosphere to reclaim the lost authentic “self” of senior high school students.
