More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Psychology for Language Teachers examines the field of educational psychology and considers various ways in which a deeper understanding of this discipline can help language teachers. The first part presents an overview of educational psychology, and discusses how different approaches to psychology have influenced language teaching methodology. Following this, four themes are identified: the learner, the teacher, the task and the learning context. Recent psychological developments in each of these domains are discussed and implications are drawn for language teaching. Areas considered include approaches to learning, motivation, the role of the individual, attribution, mediation, the teaching of thinking, the cognitive demands of tasks and the learning environment. Psychology for Language Teachers does not assume previous knowledge of psychology.

Format:Paperback
I have used this book for the second and third year of my BA TESOL course, and only wish that I had discovered it at the start of my first year as well. The authors have written it in a style which gets the content across in an easily understood manner for someone on a language course with a limited knowledge of educational psychology, and as such has been of great help in giving me a deeper comprehension of the psychology of language learners. A recommended buy for all language teachers, both students and those already in practice, as it delivers exactly what it says in the title.

Very good introduction to different schools of thoughts
13 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback
I am an MA in applied linguistics student at University of Massachusetts, Boston. I have to read H. Douglas Brown's Principles of Language Learning and Teaching. I have never taken courses in introduction to psychology and educational psychology, and I don't understand the different schools of thoughts just by reading H. Douglas Brown's book. After reading this book Psychology for Language Teachers, I fully understand their differences. Thank you Marion Williams and Robert Burden for writing this book.
