Psychology of Language Teaching A Brief Review With Sample Studies

The scope and purpose of educational processes have been heavily modified under the influence of psychological breakthroughs and their developmental perspectives in recent decades. This book is an attempt to address some of the key psychological aspects in the literature classified into emotional, cognitive, and specific perspectives with particular concentration on language teaching. By presenting detailed empirical studies on the covered topics, I attempted to indicate the intertwined relationship of language and psychology in educational settings. The first study deals with the impact of teacher-directed suggestions on students' emotional intelligence and their academic performance. The second study introduces simplified tests to coordinate the helplessness attitudes of the students. In the last research, I examine the interaction effects of the contextual factors and teachers' professional profiles on their cognitive orientations with a specific focus on teachers' dissonance belief systems. Overall, this book provides an overview of the function and influence of the psychological concepts in educational contexts, particularly language teaching.
