This book presents a selection of empirical papers dealing with second and multiple language acquisition, in which qualitative research methodology is employed. Each of the studies reported in individual chapters is based on a solid theoretical background and an overview of studies in a given area. Although the main focus is on qualitative methods, some of the papers demonstrate the complementarity of quantitative and qualitative approaches in studying language acquisition.

Affectivity is at the core of everything we do in life. Thus, its development is also central to learning/acquisition and is important for educational contexts. The studies presented in this volume consider the different contexts of language learning and examine different types of participants in this process. Most of them look at a formal instruction context, while others look beyond the classroom and even report on the author's own affectivity and its involvement in learning experiences. Affectivity is discussed here in relation to learners but also to teachers in their own professional contexts of teaching foreign languages. In the majority of cases, affectivity is explored in the case of bilinguals, but there are also articles which focus on multilingual language users and their affectivity as an evolving factor.

The book is a collection of articles devoted to the situation of contemporary glottodidactics, with particular emphasis on the pandemic conditions. The analyses concern the pressures to which the teacher is subjected and the strategies for coping with them; the attitudes of students and lecturers towards the challenges created by distance education; affective issues related to the lack of authentic social contacts, the instructor immediacy, as well as affective barriers in foreign language communication caused by language anxiety. The book also addresses such issues as limitations in the development of communicative language competence; key competences; verification of learning outcomes; professional training of translators and new opportunities created by the use of communicators; educational platforms; MOOCs; digital tools or traditional textbooks, as well as opportunities arising from the application of neurodidactic principles in educational practice or an open-minded attitude in the demanding CLIL education.

This book introduces readers to the principles of a fairly new branch of psychology – positive psychology – and demonstrates how they can be applied in the context of second language acquisition in a natural environment and in instructed foreign language (FL) learning. It focuses both on the well-being and success of the learner and the professional and personal well-being of the teacher. Further, the book stresses the importance of the positive emotions and character strengths of those involved in the process of language learning and teaching, as well as the significant role played by enabling institutions such as school and, at the micro-level, individual FL classes.
