Abstract
Like other Asian Confucian-heritage cultures, such as China, Korea, and Japan, Vietnamese culture is heavily
influenced by Confucian ideas on social standards and evaluation. These are
related to the concept of face and face loss. Studies on the concepts of face and the relationship between the notion of losing face
and good teaching have been investigated. Teaching and learning processes are strongly influenced by traditional Confucian beliefs about the
role and position of teachers, the effects of peers on students’ emotional reflection, and the relationship
between teachers and students. Emotion has been found to play an important role
in English language learning. This study focuses on the
impact of cultural features on shaping and constructing students’ particular
emotions such as shame, embarrassment, and anxiety. The findings of eight
students’ interviews and written narratives from second-year students in the
Vietnamese tertiary contexts contribute to the literature on emotion by
illustrating how some negative emotions were associated with features of the
Vietnamese culture, in particular with the local Confucian heritage.
