Abstract

There is a heated topic in the area of emotions in second language (SL) or foreign language (FL) contexts, especially since the emergence of positive psychology (PP). However, most studies have emphasized the effects of foreign language enjoyment (FLE) on language performance without treating in much detail its effects on various other aspects and the ‘positive forces’ of negative emotions. The present paper examines the focus of two key theories in the affective domain in the FL classroom, including broaden-and-build theory (BBT) and control-value theory (CVT), and their applicability to SLA, respectively. Additionally, this article explores the interaction between foreign language anxiety (FLA) and motivation and the effects of FLE and FLA on different aspects, including learners’ FL performance, motivation, cognition, and psychology. The paper emphasizes that both positive and negative emotions play a vital role in SL/FL education, and it is suggested that language instructors and learners be cautious when dealing with FLA and take a ‘balanced’ view of the anxiety level in the language learning process.
