Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the relationship among language learning perfectionism, success and academic resilience of Chinese non-English major students in order to propose a language learning program. In terms of language learning perfectionism, the findings indicated students generally disagree with statements associated with language learning perfectionism, suggesting a healthier attitude towards mistakes and learning challenges. In terms of language learning success, respondents agree that they employ good academic skills, perceive their instructors positively, and are motivated by external factors. In the assessment of academic resilience, they also report positive perceptions of happiness, empathy, persistence, and self-regulation in English learning. This research also revealed that highly significant relationships exist among the three variables, suggesting that higher perfectionism leads to lower perceived success in English class and lower academic resilience. Conversely, higher perceived success in English class is linked to higher academic resilience. Thus, a language learning program was proposed to address anxiety and perfectionism, improve learning strategies and enhance academic resilience.
