About this book
Reviews
“The book is a monograph based on a longitudinal qualitative study investigating student interest in institutional language learning. I believe the book will be most relevant to graduate students and researchers. … The major strength of this book I believe is that it applies theorizing from areas other than language learning to investigate interest in language learning. … I believe this book is a welcome addition to the literature and provides some deep insights into the concept of student interest.” (Lindy Woodrow, tesol Quarterly, Vol. 52 (4), December, 2018)
“This book is a worthwhile contribution to the literature on English language teaching, for researchers, teacher educators … . It brings together as never before the research and theory of the central topic from a wide range of sources, and shows how it applies to ELT. The content is presented in a well-organized sequence, with regular reader-friendly summaries and conclusions. There are some thought-provoking practical suggestions.” (Penny Ur, ELT Journal, Vol. 71 (4), October, 2017)
