ABSTRACT

This study aimed to explore the level of relationships between foreign language enjoyment and learning engagement among college students. Foreign language enjoyment refers to the enjoyment feeling gained in the process of learning a foreign language, while learning engagement refers to the degree of effort and concentration paid in the process of learning. Through questionnaires and in-depth interviews, data from 500 college students were collected and they underwent statistical analysis. The results show that there is a significant positive correlation between foreign language enjoyment and learning input, that is, the more enjoyment feelings gained in foreign language learning, the higher the degree of learning engagement. In addition, some factors were found to affect the relationship between foreign language enjoyment and learning input, such as learning motivation, teaching methods, and learning environment.
