"This is a must-read book for anybody with an interest in the broad field of English Studies, especially in its relationship to skills and work processes. The chapters combine to an inspiring set of cogently argued connections between research and its applications in the real world; a world that relies as much on language as a tool for engagement as it does on a humanistic approach to solving the major challenges of our times. This is a timely and much needed appraisal of the opportunities and challenges for learners and users of English in a globalised context." -Svenja Adolphs, Professor of English Language and Linguistics, Head of School of English, University of Nottingham, UK "This book is an essential tool for any teacher who wishes to connect the study of English with the developments of global anglophone society, or who is contemplating the role of the English teacher in a diverse and transforming world. Considering English as a lingua franca and exploring dystopian fiction and superhero comics as well as canonical novels, the book establishes a new standard for thinking about English in and beyond the classroom." -Johan Höglund, Professor of English Literature, Linnaeus University, Sweden This edited book focuses on practices of work in late modern society, taking an 'issue-based' and interdisciplinary approach to English Studies which acknowledges the impact of globalization on the position of English in the daily existence of millions of people around the world. Envisioning English as "a diverse yet unified subject" where the study of literature, language, and education can be pursued thematically, it constitutes part of an ongoing transformation and revitalization of English Studies. It will be of interest to readers with backgrounds in linguistics, literature and education, as well as fields normally seen as lying 'beyond' English Studies such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, urban studies, political science and childhood studies. Alastair Henry is Professor of Language Education in the Department of Social and Behavioural Studies at University West, Sweden. Åke Persson is Professor of English Literatures in the Department of Social and Behavioural Studies at University West, Sweden. .

This book examines the communication behaviours of individuals in multilingual community contexts. Using a complexity lens and the presentation of a revised 3D pyramid model, the authors demonstrate the dynamic nature of willingness to communicate over time and shed new light on processes that affect communication, migration and well-being.

This handbook offers an authoritative, one-stop reference work for the dynamic and expanding field of language learning motivation. The 32 chapters have been specially commissioned from the field’s most influential researchers and writers. Together they present a compelling picture of the motivations people have for learning languages, the diverse ways we can research motivation, and the implications for promoting and sustaining learners’ motivation. The first section outlines the main theoretical approaches to language learning motivation; the next section presents ways in which motivation theory has been applied in practice; the third section showcases examples of motivation research in particular contexts and with particular types of language learners; and the final section describes the exciting directions that contemporary research is taking, promising important new insights for academics and practitioners alike. Martin Lamb is Senior Lecturer in TESOL at the University of Leeds, UK. He previously worked as a language teacher and trainer in Sweden, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Bulgaria. His main research interest is in language learner motivation and how it interacts with features of context like teaching in school. Kata Csizér is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of English and Applied Linguistics at Eötvös University, Hungary. Her main field of research interest is the social psychological aspects of L2 learning and teaching, as well as second and foreign language motivation. Alastair Henry is Professor of Language Education at University West, Sweden. His research involves the psychology of language learning and teaching. In addition to motivation, his work has focused on teacher identities and language choices in contexts of migration. Stephen Ryan is Professor of Applied Linguistics in the School of Culture, Media and Society at Waseda University, Japan. His research covers various aspects of psychology in language learning, and he has several co-authored books in the field. .
