Resumen

Aunque las emociones están siempre presentes y permean todos los aspectos de la vida, incluyendo aprendizaje de idiomas, ha habido poca investigación sobre ellas en el área de la enseñanza del inglés y se les ha prestado poca atención en la planeación de clases o en el diseño curricular, aún menos en la implementación de clubes de conversación. En este artículo, compartimos los resultados cualitativos de un estudio de caso con enfoque mixto sobre las emociones de los estudiantes que participaban en un club de conversación en una universidad pública colombiana. Los resultados muestran una amplia lista de emociones, factores comúnmente asociados con esas emociones como son la carga académica y la vida personal, así como conexiones de las emociones con el proceso de aprendizaje del idioma de los estudiantes. Este estudio identifica cómo las emociones pueden facilitar o interferir en el aprendizaje de idiomas, destaca la importancia de las emociones en el desarrollo de la expresión oral en el contexto de los clubes de conversación y contribuye a la comprensión del aprendizaje de idiomas desde una perspectiva holística en el campo de la lingüística aplicada.
