Teacher support is crucial in second language acquisition, influencing students’ psychological state and learning behavior through multi-dimensional support. Based on the framework of social support and self-determination theory, research on teacher support explores the influence of key areas such as emotional support, academic support, and autonomous support on learning engagement, academic emotions, and academic achievement. Related research shows that teacher support improves academic performance by enhancing students’ sense of belonging, self-confidence, and self-efficacy, promoting learning motivation and engagement. Academic emotion and engagement play an important mediating role between teacher support and academic achievement. Future research could focus on teacher support in different forms and contexts, including online learning, cross-cultural backgrounds, and the effect of individual differences, to provide more personalized teacher support strategies for students.
