Flourishing in Spanish

This paper reports on a pilot implementation of the FL2 approach and resources, developed to support tertiary students'wellbeing as well as their second language learning (L2). The FL2 approach and learning activities were piloted in two Spanish languagecourses at Australian universities. Evaluation data were collected through an online survey of participating students and compared to theresults of previous pilots conducted with students of Italian. Responses to scale items and open-ended questions indicate that the majorityof participants greatly enjoyed their experiences in the courses and were satisfied with the learning opportunities provided, which showspotential for the FL2 approach. Evaluations of seven Positive Psychology-informed learning activities also piloted in this study were morenuanced. Taken together, these results suggest that designing curriculum to support student wellbeing as well as disciplinary learning canyield positive results. However, careful consideration must be given to alignment between FL2 activities and curriculum, as well as tostudents' individual differences in the reception of Positive Psychology-informed activities.
