Abstract

Research on the impact of learning concepts and extracurricular language learning activities on language acquisition is still insufficient, with a significant research gap. This study aims to investigate Chinese students' learning concepts and attitudes towards extracurricular language learning activities, provide insights for teaching practice. The study sampled 284 college students and collected data on the respondents' learning concepts and extracurricular language learning activities through electronic questionnaires. The results show that students generally have a positive attitude towards language learning. The motivation for them to learn English is largely driven by the pursuit of material benefits, and influenced by Confucian culture, they tend to adopt a passive learning approach. Students face dual challenges in time management and resource acquisition during their extracurricular learning process. It is recommended that educational institutions provide necessary learning resources and encourage students to improve their time management skills, make full use of free resources.
