Bloomsbury Academic - Foreign Language Pedagogy Deep Learning

Transformation, Embodiment, and Wellbeing in Foreign Language Pedagogy: Enacting Deep Learning offers a fresh perspective on language education. Published by Bloomsbury Academic, this volume moves beyond the idea that learning a language is just about internalizing rules. Instead, it presents language acquisition as an embodied process that connects to a learner's sense of self, including their emotions, body states, and moral intuitions. This collection brings together pedagogical approaches and empirical studies to explore how deep learning can be achieved. It looks at the transformative potential of the language learning experience and highlights the need to prioritize both learner and teacher wellbeing. By examining metaphoric understanding and aesthetic sensibilities, this book provides a comprehensive look at how language learning affects the whole person. It is an essential resource for those interested in the connection between cognition, emotion, and language acquisition in modern pedagogy.
