Abstract

The emergence of positive psychology interventions in foreign language classrooms has shown improvements in learner outcomes. However, more research is needed on how positive psychology can optimize second language acquisition experiences and writing performance. This mixed-methods study investigated the efficacy of positive psychology techniques in improving Indonesian university students' English writing skills across multiple areas. 60 students were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Assessments captured quantitative and qualitative performance differences before and after the intervention. Large effect size gains occurred for the treatment group. Students favored hope-based activities like feedback and consultations. Findings imply more positive versus negative feedback enhances writing motivation and outcomes. Further research is warranted on how positive psychology manifests in learners' complex experiences during foreign language acquisition and influences multifaceted writing performance.
