Theoretical construction and research perspectives of student engagement in foreign language education / Wu Yanbo, Datin Dr. Nazeera Ahmed Bazari and Dr. Roslaili Anuar

This paper provides a microscopic perspective of student engagement (SE) for foreign language learning (FLL). SE in FLL is defined as the degree and process of foreign language learners’ effort or involvement to understand, master and apply the foreign language, culture and other related knowledge....

description This paper provides a microscopic perspective of student engagement (SE) for foreign language learning (FLL). SE in FLL is defined as the degree and process of foreign language learners’ effort or involvement to understand, master and apply the foreign language, culture and other related knowledge. Research on SE in language learning is multidimensional. The SE model of FLL is constructed as dynamic, systematic and mutual interactional, consisting of behavioral, cognitive, emotional, social and cultural engagement. Behavior is the mediator of the other four dimensions which all contribute on the learning process through behavioral engagement. Any change of one dimension will definitely affect the others. Due to the particularity of FLL, this paper probes into the SE of FLL, and its differences to other disciplines, particularly in terms of subject (the learner), the different mediators and the objects of SE in FLL. Since culture is the innate characteristics of language, which also formulates the identity of learners, cultural engagement is a natural dimension of SE in FLL. Language is internalized through language socialization and social interactions, thus social engagement is possible to fit into the dimensions of SE in FLL. All these dimensions are discussed in terms of theoretical and research perspectives to provide insights on SE issues in FLL.
