外语教育研究新趋势:积极心理学视角

New Trends in Foreign Language Education:A Positive Psychology Perspective

长期以来,我国外语教育一直重视语言技能的训练以及语言学习的认知层面,而很大程度上忽略了情感因素。本文首先介绍了积极心理学及其发展概况,然后从思辨和实证两方面概述了外语教育中的积极心理学研究,最后分析了积极心理学研究对我国外语教育的启示。将积极心理学应用于外语教育研究是一个新的趋势,尚处于起步阶段,但其具有广阔的发展前景。

For many years the field of foreign language education has focused so predominantly on the training of language skills and the cognitive aspects of language learning with little attention devoted to affective factors.This paper begins by briefly introducing positive psychology and its development,and then reviews foreign language education research from the positive psychology perspective both theoretically and empirically.Finally it discusses the pedagogical implications positive psychology research has provided.Generally speaking,the application of positive psychology in foreign language education is a new trend and still in its infancy,but it has broad prospects for development.
