A Latent Profile Analysis of Student Engagement with Multiple Interaction in English Learning and Interaction Mindset
This study focuses on Chinese English majors'learning engagement and interaction mindset in a multiple interaction environment.Based on questionnaire data from 903 participants,latent profile analysis is employed to examine potential patterns of their engagement with multiple interaction during English learning,and one-way ANOVA is used to explore differences in interaction mindset among these engagement patterns.The results,triangulated by interview data,reveal that(1)Chinese English majors exhibited an overall moderate to high level of both engagement with multiple interaction and interaction mindset during English learning;(2)three typical patterns of engagement with interaction were identified,namely,"moderately low engagement","moderately high engagement"and"high engagement";and(3)significant differences were detected among the three engagement patterns in various sub-dimensions of interaction mindset,with the"high engagement"pattern achieving the highest interaction mindset scores,followed by the"moderately high engagement"pattern,while the"moderately low engagement"pattern scored the lowest.This research provides a fresh perspective for exploring the relationship between interaction engagement and mindset in SLA studies and offers some implications regarding language teaching for English majors.
