Abstract:

This book closes the gap between theory and classroom application by
capitalizing on learners’ individuality in second or foreign language
learning. The book examines the existing literature and theoretical
underpinnings of each of the most prominent learner characteristics including
anxiety, beliefs, cognitive abilities, motivation, strategies, styles and
willingness to communicate. This strong foundation, coupled with the wide
variety of activities that are suggested at the end of each chapter, arms the
reader with ideas to conquer the problems created by negative affect and to
capitalize on positive, facilitative emotions. The tasks are unrestricted by
language and can be modified for use with technology, emergent learners and
large classes, making this book a useful resource for both in-service teachers
and pre-service teachers in university language teacher education programs.
