The Emotional Impact of L1 Learning Confidence on L2 Learning: A Case of a Study of Translation Majors in Guangxi Universities

Abstract

This study aims to explore the emotional impact of the confidence developed in Chinese learning on the foreign language learning state of translation major students in universities across Guangxi. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 132 translation major students from various universities in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The study found that the confidence developed during Chinese learning positively influences the learners' language learning, helping them view language learning more positively, fostering other positive emotions in the learning process, and encouraging more active engagement in bilingual interactive learning. This research fills a gap in the study of positive emotions in language learning, expands new perspectives for this research direction, and provides practical references for future studies.
