Abstract: The study was aimed to improve the English listening and speaking proficiency of Chinese college students by developing the PERMA curriculum as an intervention; to investigate the influence of the PERMA intervention on the psychological well-being of Chinese college students; and to enrich a new validated framework of Positive Language Education implemented in China. Based on a quasi-experimental design, the study was intervened by the PERMA framework to develop a well-being curriculum to improve students’ English listening and speaking proficiency and their psychological well-being in the context of China. A total of 240 students from six classes of S University located in the west region of China, participated in the teaching experiment. The experimental group (EG) had 130 students who were subjected to the PERMA intervention for 14 weeks, while the control group (CG) had 110 students who were taught by using traditional methods with a similar timetable. After that, both groups of students were given a pre- and post-test to see if their listening and oral competency had improved. After the intervention of PERMA teaching, the results of a one-way ANCOVA revealed that participants in the experimental group improved significantly in their English listening and speaking proficiency. The experimental group’s dimensions of ‘Engagement,’ ‘Relationship,’ and ‘Anxiety’ were likewise shown to be much better than the control group’s in terms of their well-being. The study enriched the empirical framework of PLE to develop students’ English listening and speaking proficiency and their personal growth in the contextualization of China.
