Considering the fact that "emotions are central to human life, and bilingualism provides a new perspective on emotions which promises to lead to new insights, as well as to offer crucial evidence for the old debates" (Wierzbicka, 2004, p. 94), it becomes increasingly important to explore the latent nature of emotions and affect as an area of research that has remained under-researched in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) until recently. Due to a longstanding trend favoring the study of emotions in L1 rather than L2 and L3, which are languages included in the scope of multilingualism, the study of emotions or affect in multilingual contexts has received relatively scant attention. However, not only the ongoing multinational migrations on a global scale but also unprecedented developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the advent of Positive Psychology have prompted researchers and practitioners to investigate a broader range of diverse emotions in multilingual learning contexts. Unsurprisingly, this exponential increase and interest in studying the emotional dimensions of multilingualism have almost reached maturity in applied linguistics in the past two decades. In line with this, numerous refereed journals, books, and conference proceedings characterized by increased theoretical and methodological diversity have focused on the fundamental role of emotions and affect in multilingualism, yielding results in the field of second or foreign language learning in recent years. Considering the determining role of affect and emotions in language learning and acquisition, it is crucial to maintain further inquiry into the influence of affective factors on L2 learning, emotionality of multilinguals, and the inter-relationship between multilingualism and emotions in the entire language learning or acquisition process. In this sense, the purpose of this article is to review current research on multilingualism and emotions, better understand the complex nature of affect in language learners or teachers, and provide more insights or directions for future research in multilingualism.

Zorluklar ve Fırsatlar: Çok Dilli Ortamlarda Dil Öğrenimini Duygulanım Odaklı Olarak İncelemek

“Duyguların insan yaşamının merkezinde yer aldığı ve iki dilliliğin duygulara farklı bir bakış açısı kazandırarak yeni anlayışlara yol açmayı vaat ettiği ve aynı zamanda eski tartışmalara önemli kanıtlar sunduğu” (Wierzbicka, 2004, s. 94) gerçeği göz önüne alındığında, yakın zamana kadar Yabancı Dil Öğrenme sürecinde yeterince araştırılmamış bir araştırma alanı olarak duyguların ve duygulanımın gizli doğasını incelemek giderek daha fazla önem kazanmaktadır. Çoklu dillerden ziyade ana dilde (L1) duyguların araştırılmasına yönelik uzun vadeli bir eğilim veya yaklaşım olması nedeniyle, yakın zamana kadar çok dilli bağlamlarda duygular veya duygulanım çalışmalarına nispeten az ilgi gösterilmiştir. Ancak küresel ölçekte devam eden çok uluslu göçlerin yanı sıra Bilgi ve İletişim Teknolojilerindeki (BİT) benzeri görülmemiş gelişmeler ve Pozitif Psikolojinin ortaya çıkışı, araştırmacıları ve uygulayıcıları çok dilli öğrenme bağlamlarında daha geniş bir yelpazedeki farklı duyguları araştırmaya teşvik etmiştir. Çok dilliliğin duygusal boyutlarının incelenmesine yönelik bu hızlı ilginin ve artışın son yirmi yılda uygulamalı dilbilimde neredeyse olgunluğa ulaşması şaşırtıcı değildir. Bu bağlamda, son yıllarda artan teorik ve metodolojik çeşitlilikle öne çıkan çok sayıda hakemli makale, dergi, kitap ve konferans bildirisi, ikinci dil öğrenme alanında meyvelerini vermeye başlayan çok dillilikteki duyguların ve duygulanımın temel rolüne odaklanmıştır. Duygulanım ve duyguların dil öğrenimi ve edinimindeki belirleyici rolü göz önüne alındığında, duyuşsal faktörlerin ikinci dil öğrenimi üzerindeki etkisi, çok dillilerin dil ediniminin duygusal yönü ve çok dillilik ile duygular arasındaki karşılıklı ilişki üzerine daha fazla araştırma yapmak son derece önemlidir. Bu makalenin amacı, yabancı dil öğrenim sürecinde çok dillilik ve duygular üzerine yapılan mevcut çalışmaları detaylı bir şekilde inceleyerek, dil öğrenenleri veya öğreticilerindeki duygulanımın karmaşık doğasını daha iyi anlamak ve çok dillilik konusunda gelecekteki araştırmalara yönlendirme sağlamaktır.
