Reviews

'Affect in Language Learning is an 18 chapter compendium of finger-on-the-pulse humanistic thought and practice. It is interesting to see how so many varied approaches have led to the same conclusion about the importance of affect in learning. That [this] is an important book in the humanistic genre is of no doubt.' Greta Magazine, Spain 'There's a lot of stimulating stuff here. Recommended.' ELT News, Austria
