Abstract

While ChatGPT has emerged as a valuable asset in English education, the success of ChatGPT-assisted English learning requires the consideration of students’ emotional and psychological factors. Grounded by the self-determination theory and control-value theory of achievement emotions, this study investigated the associations between enjoyment and basic psychological needs in the ChatGPT-assisted English learning context to help learners achieve success in English learning in the ChatGPT-integrated setting as existing studies on the interplay between positive emotions and basic psychological needs did not consider the features of ChatGPT. The role of gender was also considered due to its importance in influencing enjoyment, basic psychological needs, and AI-integrated language learning in previous studies. Data were collected from 347 Chinese tertiary English learners through the quantitative method containing two questionnaires. The empirical findings via the structural equation modeling indicated a positive impact of enjoyment on basic psychological needs factors. In addition, the results of multivariate analysis of variance and multivariate analysis of covariance revealed no gender differences among enjoyment and basic psychological needs factors and no significant difference in the relation between enjoyment and basic psychological needs after controlling the impact of gender. Theoretical and practical implications for educators and university learners in ChatGPT-assisted English classrooms were discussed.

在 ChatGPT 辅助英语学习中，享受如何为大专学习者的心理需求插上翅膀

虽然 ChatGPT 已成为英语教育的宝贵财富，但 ChatGPT 辅助英语学习的成功需要考虑学生的情感和心理因素。本研究以成就情感的自我决定理论和控制价值理论为基础，调查了 ChatGPT 辅助英语学习情境中的愉悦感和基本心理需求之间的关联，以帮助学习者在 ChatGPT 整合环境下的英语学习中取得成功，因为现有关于积极情绪和基本心理需求之间相互作用的研究并未考虑 ChatGPT 的特点。由于在以往的研究中，性别在影响乐趣、基本心理需求和人工智能整合语言学习方面具有重要作用，因此我们也考虑了性别的作用。本研究通过两份问卷的定量方法收集了 347 名中国高等院校英语学习者的数据。通过结构方程模型得出的实证结果表明，乐趣对基本心理需求因素有积极影响。此外，多变量方差分析和多变量协方差分析的结果显示，在控制了性别的影响之后，享受和基本心理需求因素之间没有性别差异，享受和基本心理需求之间的关系也没有显著差异。讨论了 ChatGPT 辅助英语课堂对教育工作者和大学学习者的理论和实践意义。

期刊介绍： Learning and Motivation features original experimental research devoted to the analysis of basic phenomena and mechanisms of learning, memory, and motivation. These studies, involving either animal or human subjects, examine behavioral, biological, and evolutionary influences on the learning and motivation processes, and often report on an integrated series of experiments that advance knowledge in this field. Theoretical papers and shorter reports are also considered.
