Positive psychology has recently drawn the attention of many investigators. Three positive constructs, including hope, grit, foreign language enjoyment, and their relationships among foreign language learners, have been reviewed. The positive and significant correlation between learners' enjoyment and grit has been substantiated in earlier studies. However, more investigations are required to investigate the relationship between grittiness, and hope as well as foreign language enjoyment. Moreover, this review provides some pedagogical implications to promote language learning quality and improve the language educational system. Some suggestions for further research are specified to expand the current studies on the relationships between the above-mentioned positive emotional constructs and learners' academic achievement, academic performance, and language skills.
积极心理学最近引起了许多研究者的关注。本文综述了希望、毅力、外语学习乐趣这三种积极构念及其在外语学习者中的相互关系。早期研究已证实学习者的学习乐趣与毅力之间存在显著正相关。然而,仍需要更多研究来探究毅力与希望以及外语学习乐趣之间的关系。此外,本综述还提供了一些教学启示,以提高语言学习质量并完善语言教育体系。文中还明确提出了一些进一步研究的建议,以拓展当前关于上述积极情感构念与学习者学业成就、学习表现及语言技能之间关系的研究。
