The capabilities are there. The question is whether conditions allow them to become visible.\u003c\/b\u003e This book sets out how multilingual students arrive at school with sophisticated capabilities developed through navigating multiple languages, modes, and cultural contexts, only to find these qualities systematically underserved by conventional pedagogies and assessments. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow teachers position students is critical. Is affect engaged or stripped away? Does content connect to lived experience? Does learning unfold as fragmented skill-building or sustained meaning-making?Drawing on neuroscience, schema theory, and classroom research spanning early childhood through adulthood, David Nunan and Julie Choi show what happens when learning conditions \u003ci\u003esupport\u003c\/i\u003e the interplay of affect, identity, and lived experience. While their examples often feature multilingual learners, these are principles that apply to all learners whose lives, experiences, or ways of knowing differ from what curricula assume. Creating environments where affect, identity, and lived experience can engage learners is how learning actually works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Nunan\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor Emeritus of Applied Linguistics at the University of Hong Kong and President Emeritus and Distinguished Research Professor at Anaheim University, USA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulie Choi\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor and course lead for the Master of TESOL and Modern Languages Education programs at the University of Melbourne.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 May 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\u003e9781350647855\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\u003e240\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":55552985563276,"sku":"9781350647855","price":103.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781350647855","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
