  • Foreign language learner well-being

    Open Access•Fakieh Alrabai, Jean-Marc Dewaele et al.•ARTICLE•Applied Linguistics•2026

    With the growing interest in foreign language (FL) learner well-being, there is an increased need for solid holistic models that have a strong theoretical foundation and instruments that are both economical and reliable. The present study proposes an operationalization and psychometric validation of the newly developed hierarchical E4MC model as a multidimensional structural model comprising interconnected building blocks of language learner well…

  • Task flow in L2 writing

    Open Access•Chengchen Li, Jean-Marc Dewaele et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Second Language…•2026

    Flow has been highly valued by educational researchers and practitioners for its positive effects on learner well-being, learning outcomes, and academic success. While interest in flow within second language (L2) acquisition has grown recently, comprehensive evidence remains limited regarding both its antecedents and its impact on L2 task performance, particularly in writing contexts. Grounded in Egbert’s (2003) theoretical model of flow and lang…

  • Enjoyment and second/foreign language learning

    Open Access•Xinjie Chen, Jean-Marc Dewaele et al.•ARTICLE•Innovation in Language Learning…•2026

    The exponential growth in research on the role of enjoyment in second/foreign language (FL) learning necessitates an updated synthesis and a new approach to overcome the limitations of earlier meta-analyses. Using a three-level meta-analytic approach, the current meta-analysis will review and summarize previous studies up to 2025. Based on a throughout search, we included 80 empirical studies with 43,599 participants with 147 effect sizes. Result…

  • Response to Khodi

    Open Access•Sally Rachel Cook, Jean-Marc Dewaele•ARTICLE•TESOL Quarterly•2026

    This response engages with Khodi's commentary on relational safety in TESOL classrooms. We clarify that our study does not propose replicating therapeutic communities, but highlights how language, emotion, identity, and context become intertwined in relationally safe environments. We argue that a later‐learned language can function as an embodied linguistic space, enabling the renegotiation of self with some distance from trauma. We also point to…

  • A person-centered approach to foreign language learners’ emotions

    Liu Eerdemutu, Jean-Marc Dewaele et al.•ARTICLE•Applied Linguistics Review•2026

    Emotions are gaining increasing attention due to their significant roles in language learning. Although prior research has emphasized the potential for the co-occurrence of emotions within individuals, understanding how this co-occurrence varies among language learners remains limited. This study employs latent profile analysis to identify emotional patterns that emerge among foreign language (FL) learners based on three prevalent emotions: enjoy…

  • “A rising tide lifts all boats”

    Open Access•Pia Resnik, Sharona Moskowitz et al.•ARTICLE•Modern Language Journal•2026

    While the role of positive emotions and positive character traits in people's flourishing has been researched extensively in the context of foreign language (FL) learning and teaching, the role positive institutions play regarding teachers’ well‐being and their emotions experienced in the FL classroom has been largely neglected. With a Web survey, this study investigates the relationship between positive practices at work and well‐being among 263…

  • I Own My Life Now”

    Open Access•Sally Rachel Cook, Jean-Marc Dewaele•ARTICLE•TESOL Quarterly•2026•References: 50

    This article explores the language experiences of refugees and asylum seekers who survived sex trafficking, domestic slavery, and sexuality‐based persecution. Drawing on a longitudinal study of 15 respondents followed across two time points separated by 6 years, all members of an England‐based therapeutic community, we focus here on four individuals, examining how English—initially experienced as a language of exile—became a medium for healing, i…

  • The light side of darkness

    Open Access•Faramarz Ebn-Abbasi, Nazila Fattahi et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Second Language…•2025

    The duality of human nature, consisting of positive and negative personality traits, has intrigued scholars in different fields. Despite an overwhelming dominance of research on positive characteristics, particularly in the field of education, negative traits, such as those constituting the Dark Triad (DT; i.e., Psychopathy, Narcissism, and Machiavellianism) have been confirmed to be associated with both positive and detrimental outcomes. This pa…

  • Disentangling the causal role of motivation, enjoyment, and anxiety in second language speech learning

    Open Access•Kiyoshi Saito, Jean-Marc Dewaele et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Second Language…•2025

    While our earlier report focused on the initial four months of the dataset (Saito et al., 2018, Language Learning ), this study investigates the relationship between individual differences in motivation (Ideal Self and Ought–to Self), emotions (Enjoyment and Anxiety), and L2 speech learning among 121 Japanese English–as–a–Foreign–Language high school students over 1.5–years. Participants’ L2 speech proficiency consistently improved at each testin…

  • How foreign language learners’ benign and deleterious self-directed humour shapes their classroom anxiety and enjoyment

    Xuemei Chen, Jean-Marc Dewaele•ARTICLE•Applied Linguistics Review•2025

    This study examines how two dimensions of self-directed humour (SDH) (deleterious SDH and benign SDH) can be used by language learners to shape the relationship between foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA) and foreign language enjoyment (FLE). A total of 234 Chinese college students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) completed an online questionnaire. Results indicate a chain mediation model, suggesting that FLCA predicted, but onl…

  • Can personality predict foreign language classroom emotions? The devil’s in the detail

    Open Access•Elouise Botes, Jean-Marc Dewaele et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Second Language…•2024

    Personality has been identified as a possible antecedent to emotions experienced in the foreign language (FL) classroom. However, contrasting results and differing personality models have resulted in ambiguous findings. This study set out to delve deeper into the role of personality as a predictor of FL emotions through a series of increasingly restrictive statistical models on a sample of n = 246 FL learners. The relationships between personalit…

  • Some considerations on the emotions of heritage language learners, teachers, and users

    Open Access•Jean-Marc Dewaele•ARTICLE•Modern Language Journal•2024

    This special issue is both timely and perfectly placed. Interest in heritage language (HL) learning has been growing for a while (Driver, 2022), as has the interest in the emotions of language learners and users (Dewaele & MacIntyre, 2014). By bringing these two strands together, the guest editors have created a powerful research synergy. Just as François Grosjean (1989) famously declared that bilinguals are not the sum of two complete or incompl…

    Emotions are a fleeting experience, sometimes lasting only moments before dissipating. Prior research in SLA has either ignored emotions, underestimated their relevance, or has studied them as a relatively stable individual difference variable. In contrast, the present study takes an idiodynamic approach to examine the rapidly changing relationship between enjoyment and anxiety in second language communication, on a moment-to-moment timescale.

    The arguments put forward by purists in defence of the French language are based on the idea of the genius of French and of French clarity. Meschonnic (1997) notes that these concepts are akin to myths and originate from the history of several domains: language, grammar, linguistics, literature, culture, politics and philosophy (1997: 26). Perceived in the light of these myths, French can be presented as clear, perfect, immutable, rich, universal…

While this research has included episodic memory, it has focused largely on recall for words, phrases, and sentences in the service of understanding the structure of semantic memory. Building on the four papers in this special issue, this article focuses on larger un…

  • Blistering barnacles! What language do multilinguals Swear in

    Jean-Marc Dewaele•ARTICLE•Sociolinguistic Studies•2004•Cited by: 9•References: 5

    The present contribution focuses on the effects of language dominance / attrition, context of acquisition, age of onset of learning, frequency of general use of a language and sociodemographic variables on self-reported language choice for swearing. The analysis is based on a database to which 1039 multilinguals contributed through a web based questionnaire. Results suggest that, according to the self-reports, swearing happens most frequently in …

  • The Emotional Force of Swearwords and Taboo Words in the Speech of Multilinguals

    Jean-Marc Dewaele•ARTICLE•Journal of Multilingual and…•2004•Cited by: 43

    This paper investigates the perception of emotional force of swearwords and taboo words (S-T words) among 1039 multilinguals. It is based on data drawn from a large database collected through a web questionnaire on bilingualism and emotions. t-Tests revealed that the perceived emotional force of S-T words is highest in the L1 and gradually lower in languages learned subsequently. Self-reported L1 attriters were found to judge S-T words in their L…

  • Retention or omission of the ne in advanced French interlanguage

    Open Access•Jean-Marc Dewaele, Jean‐Marc Dewaele•ARTICLE•Journal of Sociolinguistics•2004•Cited by: 13•References: 34

    This article considers inter‐individual variation in omission rates of the preverbal particle ne in 991 negations produced in conversations between 73 native and non‐native speakers of French. It appears that both endogenous and exogenous extralinguistic factors are linked to omission rates of ne . Whereas age and gender were found to have little effect, the degree of extraversion of the speaker, the frequency of use of French and the native/non‐…

  • Sociodemographic, Psychological and Politicocultural Correlates in Flemish Students' Attitudes towards French and English

    Jean-Marc Dewaele•ARTICLE•Journal of Multilingual and…•2005•Cited by: 6•References: 38

    An analysis of 100 Flemish high-school students' attitudes towards French and English (both foreign languages) revealed complex links etween personality factors, gender, politicocultural identity, communicative behaviour and foreign language attitudes. Attitudes towards English were found to be much more positive than those towards French, despite the fact that the participants had enjoyed a longer and more intense formal instruction in French (i…

  • The effect of multilingualism, sociobiographical, and situational factors on communicative anxiety and foreign language anxiety of mature language learners

    Open Access•Jean-Marc Dewaele•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2007

    The present study focuses on individual differences in levels of communicative anxiety (CA) and foreign language anxiety (FLA) in the first (L1), second (L2), third (L3) and fourth (L4) language of 106 adult language learners. Data were collected about CA/FLA levels when speaking with friends, with strangers, and speaking in public. The analyses revealed that multilinguals do experience more CA in stressful situations in their L1, but that levels…

  • Trilingual conversations

    Open Access•Malcolm Edwards, Jean-Marc Dewaele•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2007

    A recurrent theme in the literature on trilingual language use is the question of whether there is a specific “trilingual competence.” In this paper we consider this question in the light of codeswitching patterns in two dyadic trilingual conversations between a mother and daughter conducted in (Lebanese) Arabic, French, and English. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of codeswitching in both conversants shows that, despite the fact that both …

  • Multilinguals' language choice for mental calculation

    Jean-Marc Dewaele•ARTICLE•Intercultural Pragmatics•2007•Cited by: 1•References: 4

    The present study investigates self-reported language choice for mental calculations among 1,454 adult multilinguals from a variety of linguistic, social and ethnic backgrounds. As mental calculation is a complex cognitive operation involving both language-dependent and language independent processes, we sought to establish a baseline of first language (L1) or foreign language(s) (LX) use for mental calculation and identify the factors that influ…
