Description
The Impact of Self-concept on Language Learning by Kata Csizér and Michael Magid explores how learners' self-perceptions influence their language acquisition. This edited volume brings together research from around the world, covering various approaches to understanding the relationship between self-concept and language learning.
Divided into four sections, the book examines different perspectives on self-concept in language teaching and learning, including empirical studies, teacher experiences, and L2 motivational intervention studies. The authors consider a range of research methods and foci, including adult and young learners, public and private education, and foreign and second language settings.
With contributions from researchers based in Central Europe, Canada, Asia, and Australia, this collection provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics between self-concept and language learning. A useful resource for educators, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the psychological aspects of language acquisition.
