Uncovering the Disparity: Foreign Language Enjoyment in EMI and CLIL Settings
Abstract
In response to the need for a more balanced and strength-based literature, Positive Psychology has emerged to address the positive emotions from which Foreign Language Enjoyment (FLE) is derived as a complex emotion. It promotes a sense of well-being, self-efficacy and satisfaction when engaging in a challenging task in foreign language learning. This chapter overviews Foreign Language Enjoyment in EMI and CLIL settings. Through an exploratory study using a questionnaire measuring Classroom Emotions of 60 student teachers of different disciplines at the faculty of education, the chapter analyzes factors affecting foreign language enjoyment in EMI setting. The findings revealed that EMI learners often struggle with foreign language anxiety due to insufficient language support, high cognitive load, and limited scaffolding and practice opportunities, hindering foreign language enjoyment. The chapter recommends CLIL to enhance foreign language enjoyment. The chapter also provides further research directions for deeper investigation in both settings.
