Abstract

Los estudios publicados sobre las emociones que experimentan los alumnos en el aprendizaje del inglés como lengua extranjera se han centrado en analizar las emociones que sienten y cómo estas inciden en su proceso de aprendizaje. Sin embargo, la relación entre las diferentes destrezas lingüísticas y las emociones que despiertan en el alumnado ha sido poco analizada. En este artículo pretendemos explorar cuáles son las emociones de los aprendices de EFL cuando realizan actividades de comprensión y producción de textos orales y escritos. Para ello, hemos pasado el cuestionario EFL Skills Emotions Scale (Pishghadam et al., 2016), a un total de 217 estudiantes de la Universidad de Extremadura. Los resultados muestran que las emociones más experimentadas son la diversión para las competencias de listening y reading, la ansiedad para el speaking y la esperanza en relación con el writing, siendo la ira la emoción menos presente en las cuatro destrezas. Tras la discusión de los resultados obtenidos, se presentan algunas implicaciones para la enseñanza, así como se diseñan futuras líneas de investigación.
