Abstract

There is growing recognition of the need to investigate second/foreign language learners’ emotions related to their language learning, because both positive and negative emotions affect a learner’s motivation and performance. However, research has not sufficiently explored the emotions of learners of languages other than English and other European languages, nor the emotions associated with learning experiences outside of the language class. The present research examines the emotions of 12 intermediate-level learners of Japanese and the causes of their emotions over 13 weeks, both in and out of class. Rates of positive emotions were higher outside the class than in lessons. The most frequent cause of the positive and negative emotions related to students’ L2 identity. The findings are discussed in relation to the language learning context of the university. The study suggests that learners’ emotions are closely associated with their learning contexts, including the content of lessons, and that more studies about learner emotions in different contexts are necessary, especially outside of language classes.

日语学习者课堂内外的情绪
越来越多的人认识到有必要调查第二语言/外语学习者与语言学习相关的情绪,因为积极和消极情绪都会影响学习者的动机和表现。然而,对于英语和其他欧洲语言以外的语言学习者的情绪,以及与语言课堂之外的学习经历相关的情绪,研究还没有充分的探索。本研究调查了12名中级日语学习者在13周的课堂内外的情绪及其原因。课堂外积极情绪的比例高于课堂上。积极情绪和消极情绪最常见的成因与学生的第二语言认同有关。研究结果与大学的语言学习环境有关。研究表明,学习者的情绪与他们的学习环境密切相关,包括课程内容,有必要对不同环境下的学习者情绪进行更多的研究,特别是在语言课程之外。
