Extract

Chapter 8 invites readers to reflect on their learners’ internal states, like motivation and anxiety levels. Bryfonski and Mackey discuss how researchers have explored the impact of these variables on second language acquisition. The role of motivation and anxiety on learners’ short-term and long-term language learning experiences and goals are presented and equip teachers with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about how to structure their classes.
