Dynamics of a Social Language Learning Community
This book provides an in-depth exploration of psychological phenomena affecting language learning within a social learning space. Drawing on the literature from identity in second language learning, communities of practice and learner beliefs, in conjunction with other individual difference factors, it uncovers perceptions and assumptions that language learners have of the space and how they affect their relationship with it and the people within it. Readers will gain a greater understanding of how psychological phenomena shape a space and how a learning space can contribute to a wider learning ecology. This book will appeal to researchers interested in language learning beyond the classroom and psychological aspects of language acquisition, as well as to practitioners and professionals who are supporting learners outside the classroom.
Students’ Narrative Journeys in Learning Communities: Mapping Landscapes of Practice
Students’ Narrative Journeys in Learning Communities: Mapping Landscapes of Practice by Daniel Hooper offers a unique exploration into how students navigate the often challenging transitions within English education in Japan. Drawing on nearly two decades of teaching experience and detailed research, Hooper dives deep into the complexities of student experiences in self-access learning centers (SALCs) and foreign language classrooms. The book spotlights the narratives of three students, Kei, Sara, and Tenka, whose stories illuminate the diverse ways learners adapt to new environments and reshape their identities as language learners. This volume bridges the gap between academic theory and practical application, offering educators a roadmap to better understand and support their students during periods of change. By elevating student voices, Students' Narrative Journeys challenges traditional pedagogies and calls for a more inclusive, reflective approach to language education. With a balanced mix of theory and real-life narratives, this book is an essential resource for teachers, researchers, and advisors looking to enhance their understanding of learner agency and self-access learning practices.
Leaderful Classroom Pedagogy Through an Interdisciplinary Lens
This book focuses on the impact of teachers’ leadership identity on their pedagogical and class management choices and proposes a new pedagogical framework, leaderful classroom practices which emerged through collective, concurrent, collaborative, and compassionate interactions between the teacher and students. The interdisciplinary aspect of the book appeals to a wide range of readers from different disciplines and gives readers the opportunity to take a moment and reflect on their leadership identity, recognize the limitations of their practices, and adopt a leaderful pedagogy in their respective disciplines. Establishing an open, democratic, and participatory learning environment for all learners is a major leadership responsibility of teachers, and this book demonstrates how to accomplish this mission both in theory and practice.
