Students with Growth Mindset are Good at Foreign Language Learning

  • 1. Banaras Hindu University

Description

The study examines the relationship between mindset and foreign language learning, with a particular focus on the impact of growth mindset on outcomes such as proficiency, motivation, and perseverance. Students with a growth mindset are more motivated, engaged, and persistent in language learning, whereas those with a fixed perspective are more negative and exert less effort. Mindset interventions such as specific feedback, emphasising effort, and believing in the malleability of language skills have demonstrated promising benefits in enhancing language learning outcomes. Learning a foreign language is similar to developing skills and achieving speech automacy. To achieve higher levels of skill in a foreign language, constant practise and rehearsal are required. This empirical study looks into data on foreign language learners' mindsets and academic achievement. This study suggests that by understanding the relationship between mindset and foreign language learning, educators and policymakers can apply effective tactics and interventions to improve language learning outcomes and create a positive learning environment.
