Many L2 researchers to date have studied the implications of teachers’ and students’ emotions in different language education environments. Nonetheless, as the review of the relevant literature suggests, the majority of scholars have focused on the consequences of negative emotions, leaving a broad range of positive emotions unconsidered. To bridge the gap in the pertinent literature, the present special issue aims to bring together research studies assessing the role of positive emotions in language classrooms. More precisely, this special issue seeks to collect studies that probe into the applications and implications of positive emotions in second and foreign language classes.
Second and foreign language education is an emotional process accompanied by various positive and negative emotions. While positive emotions, including hope, happiness, enjoyment, motivation, pride, and satisfaction, can facilitate the language education process, negative emotions such as anxiety, anger, stress, depression, apprehension, fear, and frustration may impede this process and result in undesired educational outcomes. Due to the integral role of emotions in the language education process, studying the applications or implications of positive and negative emotions in the language education settings seems imperative.
We welcome original research, intervention-based studies, critical reports, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. In terms of research design, we are looking for in-depth qualitative studies, large-scale quantitative investigations, and mixed-methods research. Regarding the design of studies in this area, they can be experimental, qualitative exploration of a few cases in detail, large-scale quantitative exploration of correlational or cause-effect relationships, or mixed methods research studies.
