摘要: 本研究探究了二语习得中的认知–情绪协同作用及其与二语成就的关系。研究以甘肃省某高校128名在校本科生为研究对象，采用外语愉悦量表、工作记忆测试及大学生英语四级成绩等方法收集数据。研究发现：1) 外语愉悦和工作记忆显著正相关；2) 工作记忆和外语愉悦显著正向预测二语成就。本研究揭示了情绪与认知因素在二语阅读中的协同作用机制，并为外语教学中的情绪管理与认知训练提供了理论支持和实践指导，具有重要的应用价值。
Abstract: The present study investigates the cognitive-emotional interplay in Second Language Acquisition. A total of 128 EFL learners from a university in Gansu Province participated in a questionnaire survey for foreign language enjoyment, and two tests for the working memory and the College English Test Band 4. The results revealed that: 1) Foreign Language Enjoyment and working memory capacity exhibit a significant positive correlation; 2) foreign language enjoyment and working memory capacity significantly and positively predict L2 achievement. This study reveals the interactive mechanisms of emotional and cognitive factors in L2 acquisition. Furthermore, it provides theoretical insights and practical guidance for emotional management and cognitive training in foreign language instruction, highlighting its significant applied value.
