Reviews
Much of the current research in SLA and the neurosciences points to the strong influence of affective factors, such as anxiety, on the process of language learning. With chapters from important experts in the field, this book makes a valuable contribution to understanding the research and theoretical proposals regarding anxiety and also makes useful suggestions for reducing its influence in the classroom. Jane Arnold, University of Seville, Spain In this excellent and much-needed collection, the authors bring inspiring theoretical and empirical insights to one of the most perplexing affective factors in language learning and teaching: language anxiety. It offers insightful and refreshing perspectives for research within diverse methodologies for contexts and participants across the globe! Ana Maria F. Barcelos, Federal University of Vicosa, Brazil
