Self-regulated learning in technology-supported environments has attracted much scholarly attention in recent years. With the rapid expansion of online education, students' emotions have also been studied extensively in second language acquisition. However, few empirical studies have examined the interrelationship between students' self-regulated learning and emotions in the emerging field of language MOOCs (LMOOCs). This study bridged this gap by exploring the relationship between foreign language enjoyment (FLE), boredom (FLB), self-regulated learning (SRL), and perceived effectiveness in LMOOC learning. Data were collected among 356 successful learners of a language MOOC in mainland China through a cross-sectional study. The results showed that LMOOC learners had a high level of enjoyment and a moderate level of boredom. A significantly positive relationship was noted between FLE and SRL while a negative relationship was found between FLB and SRL. SRL was confirmed to be the mediator between FLE, FLB, and PE, which partially mediated the effects of FLE on PE and fully mediated the effects of FLB on PE. Perceived effectiveness was predicted by all SRL strategies and time management significantly predicted perceived effectiveness. The results provided pedagogical implications for students to develop positive emotions and effective SRL strategies to achieve better learning outcomes in LMOOC learning.
近年来，技术支持环境下的自主学习吸引了众多学者的关注。随着在线教育的迅速扩张，学生的情感在第二语言习得中也得到了广泛研究。然而，在新兴的语言慕课（LMOOC）领域，很少有实证研究考察学生的自主学习与情感之间的相互关系。本研究通过探索外语学习乐趣（FLE）、厌烦情绪（FLB）、自主学习（SRL）和LMOOC学习中的感知有效性之间的关系，填补了这一空白。通过横断面研究，收集了中国大陆356名成功的语言慕课学习者的数据。结果表明，LMOOC学习者的学习乐趣水平较高，厌烦情绪水平中等。FLE与SRL之间存在显著的正相关关系，而FLB与SRL之间存在负相关关系。SRL被证实是FLE、FLB和PE之间的中介变量，它部分中介了FLE对PE的影响，并完全中介了FLB对PE的影响。所有SRL策略都能预测感知有效性，时间管理显著预测感知有效性。研究结果为学生培养积极情绪和有效的SRL策略以在LMOOC学习中取得更好的学习成果提供了教学启示。
