“…Yet self-efficacy research foregrounds emotional regulation as a "key aspect" of learner identity and performance, as emotions help learners assess and respond to learning situations as they unfold, prompt them to adjust their performance, provide feedback about performance, and reinforce or undermine motivation to persist (Boekarts, 2011, p. 413). The same thing has long been observed of effective L2 learners (Gregersen, 2019). Talented L2 learners must be effective at emotional regulation, using an efficient mix of regulatory and coping strategies, in order to succeed.…”

Most studies of talented learners focus on the nature of their accelerated cognitive abilities, and on structuring curricula to support them in achieving academically. Few studies of talented learners explore their emotional regulatory and coping strategies, as part of how they learn. Yet emotional regulation and coping strategies are an essential component of self-efficacy and self-regulation. Many talented learners are now also second-language learners. Programmers are among the most talented of 21st century learners. Programming requires linguistic proficiency, advanced quantitative reasoning, and multiple, complex forms of procedural reasoning. Mixed methods were used to explore how 34 talented programmers responded to a stressful second-language task. Data was analysed using one deductive and one emergent content coding frame, Appraisal analysis, and transitivity analysis. Results show that talented programmers handle stress by identifying and solving contextual problems. They realise positive subjective attitudes as evaluations of context, but frame negative emotions as interior experiences. As actors, they represent themselves as closely aligned with their team.

“…The findings indicated that positive emotions, relationships, and engagement play a significant role in motivating language learners to develop their proficiency (Li & Liu, 2023). Similarly, in a study done by Gregersen (2019) that examined the integration of the PERMA model with language learning, it was highlighted that maintaining learners' motivations, fostering positive emotions, enhancing engagement, and achieving a sense of accomplishment all play a crucial role in the language learning process.…”

This quantitative study delved into the intricate relationship between language learning and psychological well-being, emphasising its importance in holistic educational approaches, specifically for English as a Second Language (ESL) learners only. The demanding nature of SLA is emphasised as a significant consequence, guiding this exploration within the theoretical framework of Maslach's theory of burnout. The quantitative study involved 207 ESL students, obtained through convenience sampling, in Karachi Pakistan, utilising the Maslach Burnout Inventory-English Student Survey and the Psychological Well-Being Scale to measure burnout and psychological well-being (PWB). The gathered data was analysed using SPSS version 25. The results reveal a significant negative correlation between psychological well-being and burnout, with burnout emerging as a significant negative predictor of students' psychological states. These findings emphasise the need for proactive strategies to address burnout in ESL education, promoting mental health and fostering supportive learning environments. Ultimately, this research contributes a growing body of literature to the field, emphasising the paramount importance of nurturing the well-being of ESL students as they navigate the path to language proficiency in our interconnected global society.

“…2010-luvulla kielenoppimismotivaation tutkimus on saanut vaikutteita myös positiivisesta psykologiasta, jolloin keskeistä on myönteisten tunteiden herättäminen ja ylläpitäminen ja niiden aikaansaama oppilaiden hyvinvoinnista kumpuava motivaatio (esim. Gregersen 2019;Oxford 2016).…”

“…Positiivinen psykologia, joka on yksi uusimpia motivaatiotutkimuksen suuntauksia, peräänkuuluttaa kielten oppimiseen toisaalta iloa, 'leikkiä ja laulua' , mutta toisaalta myös sitkeyttä -oppijan tulisi myös itse olla valmis panostamaan oppimiseen pitkäjänteisesti (esim. Gregersen 2019). Ennen kaikkea kielten oppiminen on oppijoiden identiteetin rakentamista: eri kielten käyttäjäksi ja monikielisyyteen kasvua opiskelemalla suomen, ruotsin ja englannin lisäksi muitakin kieliä (kieltenoppijoiden identiteetistä, ks.…”

This article reviews one of the key concepts involved in the learning and teaching of Modern Foreign Languages (MFL), namely, motivation. The article attempts to define motivation and other closely related terminology and outlines developments in research on the issue over the past few decades by summarizing empirical research carried out in Finland and elsewhere. The article draws on the framework of the Douglas Fir Group (2016), and thus, motivation is approached from a variety of starting points: individuals, groups of people, and society, or the concept is viewed from micro, meso and macro levels of society. The article concludes by discussing some practical applications and indicating a need for further education of those involved in MFL teaching to ensure their agency in classrooms and to empower them in pursuing their professional careers.
