“…L2 teachers need to regularly identify the learning objectives which will enable learners to view L2 learning and exam success as achievable (Pekrun, 2014;Sides & Cuevas, 2020). If learners see objectives are linked to academic and professional goals, they will make a value appraisal, which will increase enjoyment and reduce boredom (Sánchez Rosas, 2019).…”

The results of second language (L2) tests influence important life events such as university graduation, access to scholarships, and employment opportunities. Curiously, few studies have examined L2 exam-related emotions beyond anxiety. Emotions are important because they influence mediators such as motivation, the use of executive functions, and higher-level learning strategies, which in turn, influence test performance. This study identified the positive and negative achievement emotions experienced by 277 L2 university learners in Mexico. Findings based on independent t-tests revealed that, contrary to previous research suggesting that test anxiety dominates the testing experience, learners experience positive emotions (e.g., hope) more frequently than negative ones (e.g., shame). Furthermore, upon comparing the global averages of four positive emotions and four negative emotions, a robust difference was found (d > .80) favouring the positive emotions. Comparisons between genders showed that exam-related emotions favour males. It was concluded that L2 researchers ought to broaden the research agenda regarding exam-related emotions beyond test anxiety. Further, educators ought to implement teaching strategies that promote a positive emotional experience surrounding L2 testing, thereby improving test performance.

“…Learning a language represents a challenging and complex process of mastering language systems and skills (Brković, Kardum, & Togonal, 2021;Hundarenko, 2019;Kapranov, 2019;Mulyadi, Arifani, Wijayantingsih & Budiastuti, 2020;Sides & Cuevas 2020;Stognieva, 2020;Štubňa, 2019).

Examining and understanding the concept of effective language instruction is of major significance as regards the process of teaching and learning foreign languages. This study attempts to investigate the differences in the male and female EFL (English as a foreign language) students' perceptions of effective language teachers. The convenient sampling technique, followed by the stratified sampling, was applied to gather the data from 25 males and 58 females (n=83). First, ten highest-mean and ten lowest-mean items were analysed to investigate the most important and the least important qualities of an effective language teacher. Afterwards, 57 independent-sample t-tests were carried out in order to find and recognize the potential differences between the particular questionnaire items as perceived by the male and female participants. The research outcomes demonstrate that the differences between the perception of the highest-mean and lowest-mean items are not considerable between the two sexes despite some detected variances. Furthermore, the statistically significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) were observed in only 9 cases out of the 57 items, which means that overall, the differences are not substantial, and the male and female students generally tend to agree on the characteristics of an effective language teacher.
