Abstract:
Foreign language learning resilience, as a core competence for coping with adversity in language acquisition, embodies a dynamic psychological adaptation mechanism through which learners maintain learning motivation amidst cognitive complexity, cultural conflicts, and evaluation pressure. Grounded in Psychological Capital (PsyCap) theory, this study reveals that foreign language learning residence is essentially an integrative expression of the synergistic interplay of four dimensions-self-efficacy, hope, resilience, and optimism-within linguistically risky situations. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that: (1) Individual psychological factors (e.g., growth mindset, emotion regulation) drive resilience construction through PsyCap; (2) Social environments (e.g., teacher high-support feedback, peer collaborative networks) and cultural adaptation (e.g., bicultural identity integration, cultural intelligence) constitute vital ecological supports for resilience development; and (3) Language-specific stressors activate a "cognitive-affective-behavioral resilience triad", facilitating the reconstruction of intercultural identity. The study advocates transcending traditional skill-training frameworks to construct a tri-dimensional educational paradigm of "humanistic-contextual-resilience", anchored by the cultivation of psychological capital and supported by multi-layered support networks. This framework provides both a theoretical pathway and practical grounding for the sustainable development of foreign language learning.
