Motivation, Autonomy and Emotions in Foreign Language Learning by Dvid Smid

Motivation, Autonomy and Emotions in Foreign Language Learning by Dvid Smid

This book highlights the roles of individual difference variables on the language learning process, exploring them from both the students and the teachers perspectives. The comparative analysis of these two datasets yields interactional results that have the potential to shape classroom learning in the future.

This book presents a large-scale rigorously designed and executed mixed-methods project, giving insights into hitherto unexplored areas of individual differencesBased on the intriguing results of the survey and the teacher interview data, the authors offer hands-on pedagogical suggestions that are relevant far beyond the Hungarian context. The volume is a must-have for research students, scholars and practitioners interested in individual differences and the methods that can be applied to study them.

Using data from foreign language learners and teachers in Hungarian secondary schools, the authors do a superb job of painting an intriguing picture of the interplay of motivation, autonomy and self-efficacy, as well as positive and negative emotions. Their findings offer crucial insights that extend far beyond one specific context. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in the role of individual variation in learning additional languages. * Mirosław Pawlak, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland *

This exemplary large-scale study is a mixed-methods research gem. Readers interested in motivation and emotions will discover a series of interrelated findings presented with clarity, in detailed and nuanced ways. This book inspires thoughtful consideration of similarities and differences between teacher and learner psychology and how they change over time.
