The emotional profiles of self-perceived "good" Foreign Language learners

“Good” language learners do not have a distinctive psychological profile but rather a positive emotional profile. “Good” learners were identified among 502 Moroccan EFL learners based on their self-reported relative standing in the group. Higher relative standing was linked to higher levels of Foreign Language Enjoyment and Foreign Language Peace of Mind, and to lower levels of Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety and Foreign Language Boredom.

In this online seminar, we are grateful to have Prof. Jean-Marc Dewaele explaining how his team concludes that teachers cannot alter social hierarchies in class, but they can help learners build a positive emotional profile that can boost their performance and confidence and can lead to a positive re-evaluation of their relative standing.
