Abstract L2 (second language) grit, an essential personal resource involving perseverance of effort and consistency interest, has been well documented via a variable-centred method. The current study employed latent profile analysis (LPA), person-centred approach, to identify the potential profiles moving beyond previous studies by recognizing student heterogeneity. Drawing on conservation resources (COR) theory, this also examined relationship between foreign language anxiety, achievement within identified grit. Three grit were disclosed, namely, “medium interest”, “great but weak interest”. facilitative function anxiety was realised only for those interest” profile, which interpreted as optimal configuration from lens COR theory. This generated insights future topic.

Willingness to communicate (WTC) plays a key role in foreign language learning. However, little research has been devoted the of achievement goals and emotions understanding WTC. The present study aimed examine relationship between (i.e. mastery goals, performance-approach, performance-avoidance goals) WTC via emotions, specifically enjoyment anxiety. Chinese secondary school students ( N = 408) participated this study. Both variable- person-centered approaches were used analyse data. Study 1 variable-centered approach investigate Results indicated that performance-approach positively associated with higher levels enjoyment. anxiety was not significantly 2 adopted identify students’ goal profiles how these could be categorized into four groups: mastery-oriented, high-all, average-all, low-all. Students from different groups showed varying Specifically, mastery-oriented group had most adaptive outcomes, while low-all least desirable outcomes.
