This book is an impressive work that concerns the influence and interaction of the different psycho-social factors characteristic of positive psychology in language education. Furthermore, as a Ph.D. student, it has inspired me to develop my own research on the role of positive psychology and learner emotions in education. ... Pre-service and in-service language teachers, researchers, and educators in both naturalistic and instructed second language acquisition (ISLA) settings will also benefit from this book.
