Abstract

This introduction to the Special Issue on ‘Positive Psychology and Wellbeing’ begins by outlining the history and relevance of Positive Psychology (PP) for ELT. A key construct in PP is wellbeing, which all the papers in this Special Issue focus on. In this introductory article, we describe how the term wellbeing has been used and how it is defined in this collection. We discuss why wellbeing matters in language learning and teaching and point out some of the key controversies surrounding this term. We then introduce the nine articles highlighting their unique contributions to furthering our understandings in this field. We conclude by reflecting on key practical implications derived from the contributions and by presenting possible avenues for future research in this area. Our hope is that this collection of papers will serve as an impetus for innovations in practice, research, and theoretical thinking about this vitally important topic.
积极心理学与幸福特刊简介
本特刊的导言 "积极心理学与幸福 "首先概述了积极心理学(PP)的历史及其与英语语言教学的相关性。积极心理学的一个关键概念是 "幸福",本特刊中的所有论文都关注这一概念。在这篇介绍性文章中,我们介绍了 "幸福 "一词是如何使用的,以及在本论文集中是如何定义的。我们讨论了为什么福祉在语言学习和教学中很重要,并指出了围绕这一术语的一些主要争议。然后,我们介绍这九篇文章,强调它们对加深我们对这一领域的理解所做出的独特贡献。最后,我们对这些文章所产生的主要实际影响进行了反思,并提出了该领域未来研究的可能途径。我们希望这本论文集能够推动有关这一极其重要主题的实践、研究和理论思考的创新。
