Description
This book introduces readers to the principles of a fairly
new branch of psychology - positive psychology - and demonstrates how they can
be applied in the context of second language acquisition in a natural
environment and in instructed foreign language (FL) learning. It focuses both
on the well-being and success of the learner and the professional and personal
well-being of the teacher. Further, the book stresses the importance of the
positive emotions and character strengths of those involved in the process of
language learning and teaching, as well as the significant role played by
enabling institutions such as school and, at the micro-level, individual FL
classes.
