Language is a means of communication, which is essential to human existence. Learning a language produces a range of feelings with both positive and negative implications. These feelings have a crucial role in the acquisition and success of second languages (L2).

The sources of this feeling are foreign language classroom boredom, under-challenging task boredom, PowerPoint presentation boredom, homework boredom, teacher-dislike boredom, general learning trait boredom, and over-challenging or meaningless task boredom.
