Abstract
Language teachers – like their colleagues in general education - are emotionally invested in their practice and in their students. Only in the last decade, however, has teacher emotionality in second language education (L2) received attention in applied linguistics or TESOL teacher education research. Emotions in second language teaching: Theory, research and teacher education is an edited volume that presents current research in emotionality in L2 education, covering a wide range of approaches and perspectives. Divided into six parts, each focussing on a different aspect of teacher emotion, it is aimed at L2 teachers, L2 teacher educators, researchers and administrators who seek an increasing
awareness of the role of emotions in L2 teaching and learning. In framing the 23 chapters that comprise this volume, editor Juan de Dios Martinez Agudo suggests that applied linguistics may currently be experiencing an ‘affective turn’, just as it has experienced cognitive, social and critical ontological turns over the past 40 years. This idea is echoed by many of the well-known scholars in this collection of empirical and conceptual contributions that also features a list of recommended readings, questions for reflection and discussion and a biography of the author at the end of each chapter.
