How to Improve the High School Students' Foreign Language Enjoyment?

Foreign language enjoyment (FLE) has been the cornerstone of the recent positive psychology in foreign language (FL) learning movement. Introduced by Dewaele and MacIntyre (2014), FLE can be defined as a broad positive emotion experienced by FL learners when their psychological needs are met in the FL classroom. It represents the first foray into quantifying positive emotions in FL research since it was introduced in 2014. In recent years, many scholars have linked positive psychology with education and teaching to explore the impact of positive psychology on students' learning. As a language, English can be used not only to communicate but also to express feelings and thoughts. Highschool English teaching should not only let students master the basic language knowledge and skills, but also cultivate students' emotional values. However, high school English teaching has the characteristics of boredom, complexity and comprehensiveness, so many students show negative emotions in learning, and some students even have psychological problems. Therefore, the author in this study puts forward some ways to improve the FLE according to the characteristics of high school English.
