Friday Focus 🔎

This week we scheduled our very first book for 2027!

"Advancing Research on Positive Psychology in SLA" edited by Tammy Gregersen, Meagan Driver, Sarah Mercer and Peter D. MacIntyre takes stock of the expanding body of research in positive psychology within the field of second language acquisition. Critically evaluating the scope, validity and future direction of the approach, it generates space for academic debate and offers a forward-looking agenda for further study and classroom applications.

The book will be available to preorder from October this year - sign up to our mailing list to be notified ⬇️
