Providing an empirically based theoretical framework for understanding teachers' emotions, Benesch makes a major contribution to the growing literature on emotions in the field of applied linguistics. Benesch elaborates the notion of emotion labor and argues that such labor is central to our work as teachers. In making this move, she rejects the notion that teachers' emotions should be experienced privately or bracketed when it comes to their professional lives and honors the full work that we do. --Jennifer Mott-Smith, Applied Linguistics
