摘要

This chapter explores the role of character strengths in L2 education, covering their definitions, identification, and utilization within the context of L2 learning. It begins by defining character strengths and positive characteristics, followed by a discussion on how these strengths are defined and identified in L2 learners. The impact of character strengths on L2 education is then examined with demonstration of some core character strengths, highlighting their importance in enhancing language learning outcomes and well-being of L2 learners. The chapter also includes strategies for implementing strength-based approaches in language education, aiming to integrate core character strengths effectively. This overview provides insights into key terminology, measurement methods, and the connections between character strengths and L2 education.
