It has become a consensus that parental emotional companionship can promote the healthy growth of children. However, the theoretical circle still knows little about the relationship between parental emotional companionship and children's second language acquisition and the internal processes. In this study, the path analysis method was adopted to analyze the academic quality testing data of Grade 5 and Grade 9 students obtained by questionnaire survey method in Jiangsu Province in 2020, so as to explore the influence mechanism of parental emotional companionship on children's second language acquisition. The results show that parental emotional companionship promotes second language acquisition. Learning confidence and internal learning motivation play an intermediary role in this relationship. Learning confidence positively influences internal learning motivation and plays a chain mediating role. The indirect effect of internal learning motivation in the middle school group is the masking effect. The conclusion of this study reveals the influence mechanism of parental emotional companionship on children's second language acquisition, which enriches and deepens the theoretical understanding of the affective factors affecting second language acquisition. Theoretical and practical implications, along with limitations and future research directions were discussed.
父母情感陪伴能够促进孩子的健康成长，这已成为共识。然而，理论界对父母情感陪伴与儿童第二语言习得之间的关系及内在过程仍知之甚少。本研究采用路径分析方法，对2020年在江苏省通过问卷调查法获得的五年级和九年级学生的学业质量测试数据进行分析，以探究父母情感陪伴对儿童第二语言习得的影响机制。结果表明，父母情感陪伴促进第二语言习得。学习信心和内在学习动机在这一关系中起中介作用。学习信心对内在学习动机有正向影响，并起链式中介作用。中学组中内在学习动机的间接效应为掩蔽效应。本研究结论揭示了父母情感陪伴对儿童第二语言习得的影响机制，丰富和深化了对影响第二语言习得情感因素的理论认识。并讨论了理论和实践意义，以及局限性和未来研究方向。
