Language learning can be very emotional, as anyone who has ever tried to learn or use another language (L2) will attest. The range of emotions varies widely in both type and intensity, from the thrill of successfully articulating yourself, for example, to the anxiety of navigating a high-stakes encounter in an L2. It is not surprising, therefore, that there is a longstanding tradition of research on emotion in the context of L2 learning (e.g., Horwitz et al., 1986). In fact, more than 40 years ago, Scovel (1978) reviewed the accumulated evidence on the role of just one emotion: Anxiety.

语言学习与情感

语言学习可能非常情绪化，任何尝试学习或使用另一种语言 (L2) 的人都会证明这一点。情绪的范围在类型和强度上都有很大差异，从成功表达自己的兴奋，到在 L2 中驾驭高风险遭遇的焦虑。因此，在二语学习的背景下研究情绪有着悠久的传统也就不足为奇了（例如，Horwitz et al., 1986）。事实上，40 多年前，Scovel (1978) 回顾了关于一种情绪作用的累积证据：焦虑。
