摘要

二语习得中的情感转向引起了人们对情感在交际意愿中的作用的关注。然而,对多重情绪共存的研究仍然有限。本研究试图通过调查三种积极情绪(即享受、骄傲和希望)和四种消极情绪(即焦虑、羞耻、绝望、无聊)如何共同影响世贸组织来弥合这一差距。采用模糊集定性比较分析法,对375名中国大学生英语学习问卷进行分析。结果表明,无情绪是独立预测WTC的必要条件。发现了四种情绪配置导致WTC,表明多种情绪以不同的方式组合在一起激活WTC。此外,研究结果表明,积极情绪的存在对WTC有显著的影响。本研究通过构型的方法揭示了WTC背后的微妙情感机制,为现有的知识做出了贡献。研究结果强调,教师需要关注学习者不同的情绪特征,培养积极的情绪。例如,建议教师结合反思日志或应用情绪调节策略(如重新评估)来洞察和培养学生在课堂上诱发wtc的情绪状态。

A configurational exploration of how emotions influence willingness to communicate among Chinese EFL learners: A fsQCA approach
The emotional turn in second language acquisition has prompted increased attention to the role of emotions in willingness to communicate (WTC). However, research on the coexistence of multiple emotions remains limited. This study endeavors to bridge this gap by investigating how three positive (i.e. enjoyment, pride, and hope) and four negative emotions (i.e. anxiety, shame, hopelessness, boredom) combine to influence WTC. Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis was employed to analyze questionnaire data collected from 375 college students learning English as a foreign language in China. The results showed that no emotion acted as a necessary condition in predicting WTC independently. Four emotional configurations were identified to lead to WTC, suggesting that multiple emotions combined in a diverse way to activate WTC. Additionally, the results implied a pronounced influence of the existence of positive emotions on WTC. This study contributes to the existing knowledge by revealing the subtle emotional mechanisms beneath WTC through a configurational approach. The findings underscore the need for instructors to attend to learners’ varied emotional profiles and nurture positive emotions. Teachers are advised, for instance, to incorporate reflective journaling or apply emotion regulation strategies (e.g. reappraisal) to gain insight into and cultivate students’ WTC-inducing emotional states in class.

期刊介绍: This international journal is devoted to the applications of educational technology and applied linguistics to problems of foreign language teaching and learning. Attention is paid to all languages and to problems associated with the study and teaching of English as a second or foreign language. The journal serves as a vehicle of expression for colleagues in developing countries. System prefers its contributors to provide articles which have a sound theoretical base with a visible practical application which can be generalized.
