What a joy it was to talk with Matt! He asked me to address learners directly which is an unusual way for me to talk about my work but I loved it. Let's hope some learners may find some motivation and courage from this to keep on learning a language!

An emotion that could play a huge role in language education but which has been almost entirely overlooked is embarrassment. Thanks to the sensational Hassan Khajavy for leading our first study into this exciting topic. Open access! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

The wonderful Su Yon Yim came to Graz last year and we worked on this article together. I learned a lot from her about the challenges facing English teachers in primary schools in Korea. Thanks to her commitment, their voices are heard through this article.
