dc.description <div>The present article reports on a study that explores the effects of the emotional experiences of Mexican <span style="font-size: 10px;">language learners on their motivation to learn English. In this qualitative research we present how </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">emotions impact the motivation of university language learners in south Mexico. Results suggest that </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">emotions, both negative and positive, contribute to enhancing and diminishing motivation. Although</span></div><div>negative emotions may be considered detrimental to foreign language learning, the findings of this <span style="font-size: 10px;">study show that negative emotions serve as learning enhancers. Results also evidence that Mexican </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">language learners perceive negative emotions as positive for their language learning process.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><div>En este artículo se presenta una investigación en la que se exploran los efectos que causan las <span style="font-size: 10px;">experiencias emocionales en la motivación de estudiantes mexicanos al aprender inglés. Con base </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">en un estudio cualitativo se presenta cómo las emociones inciden en la motivación de estudiantes </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">universitarios en el sur de México. Los resultados sugieren que las emociones, tanto positivas como </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">negativas, contribuyen a potenciar y disminuir su motivación. Se encontró que a pesar de que las </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">emociones negativas pueden afectar el aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera, estas actúan incluso </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">como potenciadoras del aprendizaje. Los resultados también indican que los estudiantes mexicanos </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">perciben las emociones negativas como positivas en su proceso de aprendizaje.</span></div></div>
