The Impact of Mindset, Enjoyment, Anxiety and Grit on English Proficiency : Mediating Effects of Willingness to Communicate and Moderating Effects of Motivation
This study aimed to empirically analyze the impact of English learners' mindsets, enjoyment, anxiety and grit on English proficiency, as well as the roles of Willingness to Communicate (WTC) and motivation in this process. While previous research has identified the contributions of these factors, the structural causal relationships among these variables when considered simultaneously have not yet been elucidated. To address this gap, the current study measured various factors related to English learning among university students and employed structural equation modeling to analyze the interrelationships and causal effects. The findings revealed that both mindset and WTC positively influenced English proficiency, whereas anxiety related to English learning had a negative impact. Additionally, the mediation analysis of WTC indicated its significant mediating role in the effects of enjoyment, anxiety, and mindset on English proficiency improvement. Finally, the analysis of the moderating effect of motivation showed that while motivation mitigated the negative impact of anxiety on English proficiency, it did not moderate the effects of mindset and enjoyment on English learning.
