Overview
This book brings together a diverse range of empirical chapters spanning various contexts and educational levels which explore the psychology of teaching and learning a subject through a second or other language. The chapters discuss both the psychological stressors and strains for learners and teachers, as well as the benefits and joys of being involved in such programmes. The studies encompass a range of areas, such as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), Foreign Language Medium of Instruction (FMI), bilingual education and other related approaches to integrating content and language. They feature a variety of psychological constructs, including identity, self-confidence, motivation, self-concept, teacher and learner beliefs, affect, anxiety, stress, mindsets, attributions and well-being, from the perspectives of both teachers and learners. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in ensuring that teachers and students are properly supported and that their experiences of integrated content and language settings enable them to flourish.

Reviews
This outstanding volume focusing on the psychologies of teachers and learners is a timely addition to the study of the integration of content and language. The illuminating insights in this collection highlight the importance of psychological experiences and have far-reaching implications for research, professional development and teachers' practice. * Jasone Cenoz, University of the Basque Country, Spain * This volume puts a genuine and legitimate focus on the emotional rollercoaster teachers ride in Instructed Content and Language (ICL) programs. The lively portraits invite the reader to discover and reflect on the multifaceted, challenging and stimulating aspects of teaching and learning through ICL, confronting beliefs and practices, oscillating identities and expectations, implementation and well-being. A comprehensive and inspiring book. * Laurence Mettewie, University of Namur, Belgium * The book's broad scope makes it a very useful source of information for researchers, policymakers and teacher training courses' designers. The book may also play a role as a valuable tool for career researchers who want to explore different writing styles as well as become a friendly companion for CLIL and EFL content-rich teachers, both experienced and novice. -- Anastasia Lovtskaya, Universitat Autonoma De Barcelona, Spain * CLIL Journal of Innovation and Research in Plurilingual and Pluricultural Education, 5(1) * ...these essays are useful to those interested in incorporating gender issues into their classes in Japan insofar as they offer a good opportunity to glean best CLIL practices contextualized across a world-wide scale. -- Susan Pavloska, Doshisha University, Japan * GALE Journal 2022 Vol. 14 *
