Abstract

Motivation and emotion have long been a key focus of research in the realm of learning. This study combines the achievement goal theory and the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions to explore how achievement goal orientation impacts foreign language learning strategies. A mediation model from “achievement goal orientation” to “foreign language learning strategies” was constructed through structural equation modeling. The study found that: (1) achievement goal orientation significantly positively predict foreign language learning strategies through a direct pathway; (2) achievement goal orientation and significantly positively predict foreign language learning strategies indirectly via the foreign language enjoyment. The results suggest that regardless of the type of achievement goal orientation, foreign language learners can promote the use of foreign language strategies through foreign language enjoyment, which could help to improve their foreign language performance.
