The Knock-on Effects of Student Empathy in Second Language Education

Yuanping Zhong

Abstract


This study investigated the relationship between student empathy and student emotional intelligence in second language
learning SLL. Students who have the high level of empathy will have the high emotional intelligence (EI). Those who have both high
empathy and EI will have more better learning attitude and behaviours. Teacher teaching performance will be aff ected by students learning
attitude and behaviours, which shows that student empathy and emotional intelligence are the original triggers for improving teacher
teaching performance. Meanwhile, teacher-student interaction has a close relationship with student empathy, emotional intelligence, learning
attitude and behaviors. Diff erent modes or types of teacher- student interaction will also impact and mediate student empathy, emotional
intelligence, learning attitude and even improve student academic achievement in second language education SLE.
