摘要

Motivation is a crucial factor in learning a foreign language, and it has been regarded as the fundamental factor in accomplishing individual and academic success. Engagement is also a pivotal component of the educational process and a key factor in achieving academic success for students. There is an increasing amount of evidence indicating that teachers have a notable impact on foreign language learning procedures. Teachers' immediacy has been considered to significantly impact the scholastic achievements, enthusiasm, and engagement of students. This paper aims to explore the teacher-related concepts within this field and elucidate how teachers play a crucial role in fostering students' motivation and engagement through their immediacy. So, 392 Spanish as a Foreign Language (SFL) learners including both genders from 16 different Chinese universities in 9 provinces took part, and they were supposed to fill out the three questionnaires, namely engagement, motivationand perceived teacher immediacy. After gathering the data, Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was utilized to answer the research questions and the findings showed that teacher immediacy could predict 69 percent of changes in the SFL learners’ engagement and 73 percent of changes in the SFL learners’ motivation. Subsequently, some implications were presented.
