Produktbeschreibung

This book demonstrates how resources taken from positive psychology can benefit both teachers and learners. Positive psychology is the empirical study of how people thrive and flourish. This book explores a range of topics, such as affectivity and positive emotions, engagement, enjoyment, empathy, positive institutions, a positive L2 self-system, as well as newly added Positive Language Education. Some papers in this collection introduce new topics such as the role of positive psychology in international higher education, a framework for understanding language teacher well-being from an ecological perspective, or positive institutional policies in language education contexts.

Rezensionen

"This book is an impressive work that concerns the influence and interaction of the different psycho-social factors characteristic of positive psychology in language education. Furthermore, as a Ph.D. student, it has inspired me to develop my own research on the role of positive psychology and learner emotions in education. ... Pre-service and in-service language teachers, researchers, and educators in both naturalistic and instructed second language acquisition (ISLA) settings will also benefit from this book."
