摘要:From the argument that in languaging worlds are created (Aragao, 2005; Kalaja, 1995, 2003; Maturana and Varela, 2001; Nunez, 1997), this article aims at reflecting about the relationship between emotions and beliefs in foreign language learning. It is argued that beliefs and emotions in language learning/teaching are inter-related and can be observed in the way students conceive their classroom environment as they disclose feelings and core beliefs about themselves as students of English as a Foreign Language. Framed by the concepts of languaging, emotions and beliefs in a contextual and discursive approach, results of a qualitative study are presented in which data comes from narrative research documents and visual representations of students shedding light on the historical and situated interplay of beliefs and emotions.
