This study investigates the effects of three key learner emotions-foreign language enjoyment (FLE), foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA), and foreign language learning boredom (FLLB)-on English language achievement among junior secondary school students in Yazd, Iran.<br> <b>Methods</b>: The sample comprises 300 Iranian EFL learners aged 12&ndash;15, attending junior secondary schools in Yazd. Participants were surveyed at four intervals across a nine-week term using validated scales: the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS), the Foreign Language Enjoyment Scale (FLES), and the Foreign Language Learning Boredom Scale (FLLBS).<br> <b>Results</b>: The study finds that FLE positively predicts English achievement, while FLCA and FLLB have negative effects. FLE emerged as the most enduring predictor over time, highlighting the value of positive emotions in sustaining language learning outcomes.<br> <b>Conclusions</b>: Implications for pedagogy and curriculum design are discussed, and recommendations for future research in Iranian schools are provided.</span></span></span></span></div> Emotions, Foreign Language Achievements, Iranian EFL learners 291 306 http://ieepj.hormozgan.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1036-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Esmaeei Ranjbar Jamal Abadi ranjbarjamalabadi@yahoo.com 100319475328460010909 0009-0001-7832-7324 Yes MA in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, Department of English, Faculty of Foreign Languages, Yazd, Iran Farideh Sadat Sajjadipour faridesajady@pnu.ac.ir 100319475328460010910 100319475328460010910 No Assistant professor, Department of Education and Psychology, Payame Noor University (PNU), P.O.
