Multilingual Matters Discount Order Form 50% OFF! POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY IN SLA Edited by Peter D. MacIntyre (Cape Breton University), Tammy Gregersen (University of Northern Iowa) and Sarah Mercer (Universität Graz) FREE SHIPP ING! With a decidedly positive outlook on applied linguistics stemming from positive psychology, this volume piques the interest of teachers and researchers alike by shedding light on language learning and empowerment, happiness, resilience, melody, stress reduction and enjoyment as well as success. No wonder that this book is a joy to read! Kata Csizér, Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary This volume offers a refreshing perspective on the process of learning and teaching new languages, highlighting the diverse ways in which learners and teachers draw on the many positive aspects of the human condition in their development as users of a non-native language. Without understating the dificulties that trouble language learning, this book provides a well-grounded basis for future studies using theoretical perspectives from positive psychology, and inspires teaching practices that recognize the human potential to thrive and grow. Kimberley A. Noels, University of Alberta, Canada Second language learning is a new area for Positive Psychology and these authors have found that it is a surprising and remarkable aide. Martin Seligman, Director of the Penn Positive Psychology Center, University of Pennsylvania, USA and author of Flourish: A New Understanding of Happiness and Well-Being - and How To Achieve Them This book is about the dynamics of happiness in language learning, the ripples that interact with other ripples, not necessarily in unison, but providing a goal and resources for processes of development. The contributions aim to show the positive sides of language teaching and learning without ignoring or denying the negative ones. They strive to reach a balance that allows for human agency to frame existences and hopes. The authors aim to move beyond the ‘Don’t worry, be happy’ level by using carefully deined concepts and rigorous methodology. Kees de Bot, University of Groningen, Netherlands This book explores theories in positive psychology and their implications for language teaching, learning and communication. Chapters examine the characteristics of individuals, contexts and relationships that facilitate learning and present several new teaching ideas to develop and support them. Peter D. MacIntyre is Professor of Psychology at Cape Breton University, Canada. Tammy Gregersen is Professor of TESOL at the University of Northern Iowa, USA. Sarah Mercer is Professor of Foreign Language Teaching at the University of Graz, Austria.
