Contemporary Issues in Foreign Language Education: Festschrift in Honour of Anna Michońska-Stadnik

這本編輯過的專書提供了對21世紀外語學習和教學核心問題的深入理論概念化。本書借鑒了教學、社會心理學和教育社會學領域的研究結果，全面實踐探索了波蘭和歐洲研究人員所遇到的問題，並且這些問題在其他教育背景中也能找到深遠的影響。

第一部分《關注教師》包括七篇文章，討論與教師初期和在職教育以及外語教師在教育體系中的運作相關的話題。第二部分《關注學習者》的八篇文章探討影響語言學習過程有效性的學習者內部和外部因素。

對關鍵當代議題的探索以及應用的廣泛方法論使得這本書對第二語言習得學者、教師教育者、教師和語言教育政策制定者具有高度的相關性。
