Alison Porter and Suzanne Graham report on how teachers of young language learners learn about creativity and empathy and how far collaborative learning can be linked with their motivation and wellbeing. They use a range of longitudinal data to examine the process of knowledge and skills development as well as the importance of factors underpinning motivation: competence, autonomy and relatedness. The book's novel approach showcases evidence to illustrate that both creativity and empathy are crucial in teacher motivation and also that they can be fostered in primary languages classrooms as part of global citizenship and intercultural understanding. Teachers' perspectives are central to this work and teacher 'journeys' or narratives are presented to document teacher learning and practical experimentation through supported engagement. An interactive resource bank accompanies the book, supporting reader access to relevant resources and a scaffolded classroom research toolkit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlison Porter \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor in Applied Linguistics at the University of Southampton, UK. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuzanne Graham\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor in Language Education at the University of Reading, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e05 August 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350467170\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62308167712908,"sku":"9781350467170","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781350467170","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
