Attention to the language teacher’s mental processes, motivations, and emotional experiences while engaged in or reflecting on the act of teaching has long been wanting. Thus, the volume Language Teacher Psychology is timely, and addresses a crucial, yet underexplored, aspect of second language pedagogy. A compilation of conceptual pieces, literature reviews, and primary research, the text positions the language teacher squarely as the unit of analysis, presenting the reader with rich insights into the multifaceted experience of teaching, often from the teacher’s perspective. The volume is most appropriate for researchers in second language pedagogy, as well as graduate students who have a solid foundation in second language development and language teaching methods. The concrete research findings and more abstract reflections contained within, however, are certainly directly applicable to any classroom, and thus would be a welcome addition to the bookshelf of those who work with second language teachers.

长期以来，人们一直希望语言教师在从事或反思教学行为时的心理过程，动机和情感体验。因此，卷语言教师心理是及时的，并且解决了第二语言教学法的一个关键但尚未开发的方面。文字集概念性文章，文献综述和基础研究于一身，将语言老师摆正为分析单位，通常从老师的角度为读者提供对教学多元化体验的丰富见解。该卷最适合第二语言教学法的研究人员以及在第二语言发展和语言教学方法上有扎实基础的研究生。但是，其中包含的具体研究结果和更抽象的反映当然可以直接应用于任何教室，因此，作为与第二语言老师一起工作的人的书架，这将是一个受欢迎的补充。
