Recent research has highlighted the significant impact of students' enjoyment, hope, and effort on their academic English learning within social contexts. However, the complex interconnections among these factors remain unexplored. To address this gap, the present study employs a quantitative approach to investigate the combined influence of specific dimensions of students' enjoyment and hope on their effort in learning English. A sample of 711 Chinese senior high school students participated in the study by completing questionnaires on enjoyment, hope and effort. The findings, based on structural equation modeling, suggest that FLE-Private (one dimension of foreign language enjoyment) and pathways (one dimension of hope) directly and positively influence students' effort in foreign language learning. This research offers valuable insights for educators aiming to enhance students' enjoyment in English learning, foster their strategic approach to language acquisition, and promote their academic success.
最近的研究强调了学生的享受、希望和努力在社会背景下对其学术英语学习的重大影响。然而，这些因素之间复杂的相互联系仍未得到探索。为了填补这一空白，本研究采用定量方法来调查学生享受和希望的特定维度对其英语学习努力的综合影响。711名中国高中生参与了这项研究，他们通过填写关于享受、希望和努力的问卷来完成调查。基于结构方程模型的研究结果表明，外语享受的一个维度“私下学习外语的乐趣”（FLE-Private）和希望的一个维度“路径”直接且积极地影响学生的外语学习努力。这项研究为旨在提高学生英语学习乐趣、培养他们语言习得的策略方法并促进其学业成功的教育工作者提供了宝贵的见解。
