Subject: 2022 Mercator Multilingualism Lecture

 
You are warmly invited to the 2022 Mercator Multilingualism Lecture, which
will be given by Professor Jean-Marc Dewaele 
– hosted by the Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and
Language Learning (Leeuwarden, Netherlands).

Title: Learners’ experience of flow in foreign language classrooms

Abstract: The concept of flow was introduced by Positive Psychologist
Csíkszentmihályi (1990) and refers to a consciousness that is harmoniously
ordered where thoughts, actions, and emotions become well-coordinated in
performing a challenging task. Despite a growing interest in foreign language
learner emotions that started with Dewaele and MacIntyre (2014), the topic of
flow is still under-researched in applied linguistic research. Flow matters
because it is addictive and has strong motivational qualities (Piniel &
Albert, 2019; Dewaele, Saito & Halimi, 2022). This presentation will give an
overview of the latest research on foreign language learners’ flow
experiences, showing how they increase in frequency and intensity over time
and how they are shaped by positive and negative emotions and by teacher
intervention (Dewaele & MacIntyre, 2022a; Dewaele & MacIntyre, 2022b). Flow is
particularly important in foreign language classes because it helps learners
overcome their self-consciousness and anxiety.

About the speaker: Jean-Marc Dewaele is Professor of Applied Linguistics and
Multilingualism at Birkbeck, University of London (UK). He is the general
editor of the Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, the
president of the International Association for the Psychology of Language
Learning, and – amongst many other accolades – the recipient of the
Distinguished Scholar Award (2022) from the European Second Language
Association.
