Emotions in Task-based Language Teaching
Запись выступления Чэнчен Ли на конференции SPRINGBOARD ‘25
Описание выступления:
Task-based language teaching (TBLT) has predominantly focused on task features, cognitive learner factors, and negative emotions, particularly anxiety. This narrow focus risks portraying learners as emotionless or perpetually anxious.

In this talk, I will advocate for the importance of exploring a broader range of learner emotions in TBLT. The presentation is divided into three parts. First, I will outline the rationale for investigating diverse learner emotions, drawing on key insights from positive psychology, educational psychology, and cognitive psychology. Second, I will present findings from two empirical studies examining task emotions—enjoyment, anxiety, and boredom—in L2 speaking and writing contexts. Finally, I will discuss the pedagogical implications of these findings and their potential to inform more emotionally responsive TBLT practices.
