Li Zhou; Katja Lochtman; Yiheng Xi – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2024

However, the extent to which teachers are willing and able to engage in PD…

Gregersen, Tammy – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2020
This article begins by examining previous empirical studies to demonstrate that language anxiety, or the negative emotional reaction learners experience when using a second language (MacIntyre & Gardner, 1999), is a dynamic individual difference learner variable.

However, there has been no investigation of the effect of the teacher on these emotions at a single point in time. In this study, we investigate the…
