How distinctive is the foreign language enjoyment and foreign language classroom anxiety of Kazakh learners of Turkish?

Jean-Marc Dewaele et al.

Summary: The present study examines foreign language enjoyment and foreign language classroom anxiety among Turkish learners in Kazakhstan. The findings show that the levels of foreign language enjoyment and classroom anxiety are similar to those in previous studies. Interestingly, there is a weak positive correlation between foreign language enjoyment and classroom anxiety, and male participants report higher levels of anxiety. Factors such as attitude towards Turkish, teacher-related variables, age, and exam results significantly predict foreign language enjoyment and classroom anxiety. These findings suggest that Kazakh learners of Turkish experience similar levels of enjoyment and anxiety as learners in other contexts.

University Teachers' Teaching Style and Their Students' Agentic Engagement in EFL Learning in China: A Self-Determination Theory and Achievement Goal Theory Integrated Perspective

Anne Li Jiang et al.

Summary: As a relatively new dimension of student engagement, agentic engagement has attracted growing research interest due to its predictive power on academic achievement and teacher-student relations. This study explored how perceived teachers' teaching style influences university students' agentic engagement in EFL learning in China, showing that perceived autonomy support positively predicts agentic engagement through mastery-approach goals, whereas perceived controlling negatively predicts it through performance-approach goals. Additionally, perceived social relatedness's relationship with agentic engagement is fully mediated by both types of goals.
