Until now, relatively little research on interpersonal processes
and group dynamics addressed the educational domain, particularly
second language education. This book fills the gap by synthesizing
diverse aspects of interpersonal and group psychology and exploring
conscious and unconscious processes that affect learning and
teaching. Drawing on humanistic, social, and clinical psychology,
it addresses unconscious communication among people, group
development, class climate, psychological characteristics of
effective classroom groups, leadership roles, interpersonal
attraction and conflicts, and the relationship of these to learner
autonomy and collaborative learning. The authors examine the
contributions of the mental health branches of counseling and
clinical psychology to our understanding of how teachers, learners
and a variety of figures who many never enter the classroom
interact with each other to make second language learning more or
less effective. In particular, the authors show how the unconscious
oscriptsoe can cause unproductive conflict demotivation and
eventual aversion to language learning. Moreover, the text shows
how learning can be facilitated by appropriate use of interpersonal
dynamics. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, this book will be of
interest to teacher educators and practicing teachers, researchers,
undergraduate and graduate students, school administrators and
supervisors of educational programs, and many learners themselves.
In addition, since the main focus of the book is the affective
foundation of the teaching/learning process, this material will be
relevant to non-language teachers and clinical practitioners
interested in educational issues, as well as graduate students in
training for those professions.
