ABSTRACT This study adopted a three‐wave random intercept cross‐lagged panel model (RI‐CLPM) to explore the longitudinal reciprocal relationships between social support and engagement in EFL learning among Chinese high school students. Two samples, including 3505 students (Sample 1 = 1794; Sample 2 1711), were tracked with their perceived levels over three academic semesters. Using multiple‐indicator RI‐CLPM, demonstrated relationship maintained consistently across samples. Perceived positively predicted students' subsequent engagement. Meanwhile, support. While prior cross‐sectional research mostly showed how predicts student engagement, not reverse prediction, current provides initial evidence for possibly mutually reinforcing time.

Despite the growing attention received by research on second language or foreign (SL/FL) learning from perspective of positive psychology (PP), a crucial gap persists. Over past decade (2013–2022), scholars have yet to comprehensively elucidate how PP affects SL/FL outcomes. Specifically, full - scale impact various aspects learning, such as different skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) and learners at diverse educational levels, remains unclear. Additionally, underlying psychological mechanisms through which exerts its influence not been thoroughly explored. In present study, systematic literature review was conducted analyze empirical studies teaching psychology. By analyzing 45 studies, objects, dimensions design were collected systematically. The findings showed that: (1) relative new field, number publications is increasing rapidly, future development momentum strong; topics focus relationship between intervention moderating effects learning; (2) about design, objects are mainly college students with wide distribution majors; method quantitative research, mixed constantly developing; (3) results that associated students' performance can predict performance. also increase English engagement well-being. study provided comprehensive gave some suggestions for research.
