Abstract:

The current research investigates the influence of colors in workbooks on the creativity, enjoyment, and language growth of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. In response to the recognized need for innovative approaches in EFL education, the research explored the psychological impact of colors on cognitive processes and emotional responses. Grounded in cultural perspectives, creativity theories, positive psychology principles, and language growth frameworks, the study adopted a phenomenological inquiry. Twenty-five EFL learners in Iran were selected using purposive sampling. The study utilized colored workbooks, semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis for data collection. The findings uncovered nuanced effects of colors on creativity, the impact of pleasant emotions in fostering enjoyment, and the multifaceted nature of language growth. The study discusses implications for language educators, materials developers, syllabus designers, and policymakers, integrating the main themes identified. The limitations of the study and suggestions for further research are provided at the end of the paper.
