Abstract	This study examines the effect of growth-oriented feedback on English as a Second Language (ESL) learners' resilience, motivation to engage with challenging language tasks, and overall language acquisition. Drawing upon Carol Dweck’s mindset theory, this research contrasts growth-oriented feedback, which emphasizes effort and strategy, with fixed-oriented feedback, which reinforces the idea that abilities are static. Through an experimental study involving ESL learners, the research investigates how different feedback styles influence students’ learning behaviors, willingness to take on linguistic challenges, and long-term language development.
