Abstract:

This book investigates teacher and student boredom from the
perspective of the teacher and illustrates how thinking about
different aspects of this negative emotion might enhance reflective
practices. It consists of seven chapters. The first four (Chapters
1-4) are devoted to the role of positive and negative emotions in L2
learning, conceptualizations of boredom, theories accounting for this
negative emotion, and a brief overview of student and teacher
boredom-related studies carried out in educational psychology and L2
education. The second part (Chapters 5-6) is empirical in nature. It
reports on a mixed-methods investigation which tapped learner and
teacher boredom from the perspective of EFL secondary school
practitioners. It focused on: (1) teacher-perceived causes of
learners’ boredom, (2) causes of teachers’ own boredom, (3) ways in
which teachers confront student boredom in the classroom, (4) ways in
which teachers deal with their own boredom, (5) factors that underpin
teacher and student boredom, (6) ways of combating student and teacher
boredom. The third part of the book (Chapters 6-7) integrates
teachers’ recommendations with outcomes of previous research to
propose a reflective practice model of dealing with boredom in the
classroom as well as strategies that can be employed to minimize
teacher boredom.
