Equinox Publishing Ltd Teachers Reflecting on Boredom in the Language
Book SynopsisThis book investigates teacher and student boredom from the perspective of the teacher and illustrates how thinking about different aspects of this negative emotion might enhance reflective practices. It consists of seven chapters. The first four (Chapters 1-4) are devoted to the role of positive and negative emotions in L2 learning, conceptualizations of boredom, theories accounting for this negative emotion, and a brief overview of student and teacher boredom-related studies carried out in educational psychology and L2 education. The second part (Chapters 5-6) is empirical in nature. It reports on a mixed-methods investigation which tapped learner and teacher boredom from the perspective of EFL secondary school practitioners. It focused on: (1) teacher-perceived causes of learners' boredom, (2) causes of teachers' own boredom, (3) ways in which teachers confront student boredom in the classroom, (4) ways in which teachers deal with their own boredom, (5) factors that underpin teacher and student boredom, (6) ways of combating student and teacher boredom. The third part of the book (Chapters 6-7) integrates teachers' recommendations with outcomes of previous research to propose a reflective practice model of dealing with boredom in the classroom as well as strategies that can be employed to minimize teacher boredom.Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: Emotions in the language classroom Chapter 2: Conceptualizing boredom Chapter 3: Perspectives on boredom, its causes and solutions Chapter 4: Researching boredom in L2 learning and teaching Chapter 5: Boredom in the L2 classroom: Listening to teachers’ voices Chapter 6: Integrating theory and practice: Reflective practice with respect to boredom Chapter 7: Awareness-raising activities stimulating reflection on L2 boredom Conclusion Appendix 1: Teacher Boredom Questionnaire Appendix 2: A Lesson Report

Equinox Publishing Ltd Comprehensibility in Language Assessment: A
Book SynopsisComprehensibility is considered central to successful communication (Munro & Derwing, 1995a, 2007). Yet, despite the crucial role it plays in communication and the contribution it makes towards the assessment of spoken language ability, comprehensibility has occupied an ambiguous position in language testing. At times, it is feature-driven, taking a linguistically-atomistic approach with little reference to context or communicative purpose, treating comprehensibility as an abstract construct made up only of linguistic components. At other times, the assessment of comprehensibility is an intuitive action, relying on a holistic sense of understanding by the assessor and rarely going beyond the speaker's utterances to include listener characteristics. The lack of a perspective that encompasses broader linguistic and socio-pragmatic factors that contribute to achieving meaning in spoken language has motivated us to propose the current manuscript as an approach to understanding, defining and assessing comprehensibility. In this monograph, we argue that conceptualising comprehensibility as a multidimensional construct and adopting a broader perspective to understanding and analysing it for communication purposes would benefit the fields of second language assessment and second language acquisition.Table of Contents1. Introduction 2. Comprehensibility at the Phonological Level 3. Comprehensibility at Discourse / Text Level 4. Comprehensibility at a Pragmatic Level 5. Comprehensibility and Fluency 6.
