With the rise of positive psychology, the role of teachers' emotions and interpersonal communication skills has been recently highlighted in the literature. However, the preventive role of teacher enthusiasm and clarity in reducing EFL students' boredom has not caught sufficient attention among L2 scholars. Against this gap, this article, first, presented the definitions, dimensions, and conceptualizations of teacher enthusiasm, clarity, and students' boredom. Next, theoretical and empirical backgrounds were provided to support the claim that enthusiasm and clarity of EFL teachers can stop students' classroom boredom. Additionally, the study presented the implications and future directions of this line of research for different people such as EFL teachers, teacher trainers, and L2 scholars. The ideas can improve their awareness of teachers' positive emotions, interpersonal skills, and their roles in L2 education.
随着积极心理学的兴起，教师情感和人际沟通技巧的作用最近在文献中得到了强调。然而，教师的热情和清晰讲解在减少英语外语教学（EFL）学生课堂厌倦方面的预防作用，在第二语言（L2）学者中尚未引起足够的关注。针对这一差距，本文首先阐述了教师热情、清晰讲解以及学生课堂厌倦的定义、维度和概念。其次，提供了理论和实证背景，以支持英语外语教师的热情和清晰讲解能够防止学生课堂厌倦这一观点。此外，该研究还阐述了这一研究方向对不同人群（如英语外语教师、教师培训师和第二语言学者）的启示和未来方向。这些观点可以提高他们对教师积极情感、人际技巧及其在第二语言教育中作用的认识。
