The authors combine existing knowledge on the topic of FLA together with original research on FLA in young language learners to fill a large gap in knowledge with regards to this understudied and distinct group of learners. The book includes suggestions for alleviating FLA and encouraging foreign language enjoyment, which can be implemented by parents, teachers and policymakers and which will ultimately facilitate more effective language learning and support children's psychosocial wellbeing.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Focusing on young learners in South Korea, this book provides invaluable insights on L2 anxiety from psychological, cognitive, developmental, educational and sociocultural perspectives. The interdisciplinary analysis shows dynamic interaction between the sociocultural context and L2 anxiety, and the specificity of the context and learners, ironically, expands the scope of L2 anxiety research focus in applied linguistics.-- "Yeji Han, York St John University, UK"<br><br>This book examines real-life language use in the classroom from a much-needed non-Eurocentric perspective. Written in an accessible style and replete with comprehensive examples, this book will leave readers equipped with practical insight into improving young children's language learning environment.-- "Hyejeong Ahn, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore"<br><br>This excellent book shows that children need a nurturing and playful learning environment to become happy and successful foreign language learners. It reflects a powerful new positive psychology perspective that stands up against deficit thinking and undue pressure in classrooms and promotes a more informed and optimistic view of language learning.-- "Jean-Marc Dewaele, Birkbeck, University of London, UK"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jieun Kiaer is Associate Professor in Korean Linguistics at the University of Oxford, UK.
