To date, the majority of work in language learning psychology has focused on the learner. In contrast, relatively little attention has been paid to teacher psychology. This volume seeks to redress the imbalance by bringing together various strands of research into the psychology of language teachers. It consists of 19 contributions on well-established areas of teacher psychology, as well as areas that have only recently begun to be explored. This original collection, which covers a multitude of theoretical and methodological perspectives, makes a significant contribution to the emerging field of language teacher psychology as a domain of inquiry within language education.
In contrast to the study of learners, the study of teachers in the field of second language acquisition has been noticeably rare. In this masterful collection of recent research, Mercer and Kostoulas draw together a compelling rationale for attention to teachers as central players in language learning. The chapters in the book are compulsory reading for anyone wishing to gain deeper insights into language teacher psychology.- Anne Burns, University of New South Wales, Australia
The chapters in this book have succeeded in laying out a rich, colourful and textured landscape of research into language teachers. With its diverse conceptual frameworks and innovative methodologies, the book is bound to become a primary reference for anyone wishing to orient themselves in this terrain and/or contribute to it.- Maggie Kubanyiova, University of Leeds, UK
This book convincingly establishes a new field of enquiry, showing that language teacher psychology – though frequently neglected – really matters! Sarah Mercer and Achilleas Kostoulas have assembled a rich array of expert contributions, uniting hitherto disparate areas in a coherent, ground-breaking collection. The book will inspire new research and action for teacher well-being and learner achievement.- Richard Smith, University of Warwick, UK
Heralding language teacher psychology as a movement gaining ascendancy in SLA, the book realistically acknowledges the difficulties of taking on such research while also underscoring its timeliness and exigency. One notably strong aspect of this book is the range of contributors with varied backgrounds and voices who reflect a- International Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2018 - Sharona Moskowitz, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK
broad scope of possibilities and make a strong and concerted argument for further investigation.
Sarah Mercer is the Head of the ELT Research and Methodology section at the University of Graz, Austria. She is interested in all aspects of language learning psychology, in particular self-related constructs, motivation, affect, agency, mindsets, and belief systems. She is co-editor of Positive Psychology in SLA (with Peter MacIntyre and Tammy Gregersen) and Multiple Perspectives of the Self in SLA (with Marion Williams).
Achilleas Kostoulas taught English in schools in Greece before moving into language teacher education. He completed a PhD at the University of Manchester, UK and now works in the Department of English Studies at the University of Graz, Austria, where he teaches courses in ELT and Applied Linguistics. His research interests focus on the psychology of language learning and teaching.

As far as links on the forums, can you make it to where the links open up in new windows rather than take over the existing one? This so we can stay on the forums when visiting other links/sound clouds/facebooks/ect...

Ella es el Matador (She is the Matador)
A film by
Gemma Cubero
Celeste Carrasco
U.S./Spain, 2009, 62 minutes, Color, DVD, Spanish and Italian, English subtitles
Order No. W09971
For Spaniards—and for the world—nothing has expressed their country's traditionally rigid gender roles more powerfully than the image of the male matador. So sacred was the bullfighter's masculinity to Spanish identity that a 1908 law barred women from the sport.
Visually stunning and beautifully crafted, ELLA ES EL MATADOR (She is the Matador) reveals the surprising history of the women who made such a law necessary, and offers fascinating profiles of two female matadors currently in the arena, the acclaimed Maripaz Vega and neophyte Eva Florencia. These women are gender pioneers by necessity, confronting both bull and social code. But what emerges through this mesmerizing film is their truest motivation—a sheer passion for bullfighting, in the pursuit of a dream.

NEW YORK– What makes a leader effective? Sound decision-making, knowing how to manage people, taking charge, and inspiring others to achieve goals are a few of the qualities. But helping others develop their full potential is also an integral part of successful leadership. According to a new Catalyst report, it pays off not only for emerging talent but for those who invest time in cultivating them. And more women than men, it turns out, are helping others move up the ladder. High-potential talent who were themselves mentored, coached, or sponsored to advance in their careers are more likely to "pay it forward" by developing the next generation of leaders, according to Leaders Pay It Forward, the latest report in Catalyst's series that examines the career advancement of high-potentials throughout the world.
And, paying it forward pays back: It benefits not only protégés but leads to career advancement and compensation growth for those providing the assistance—$25,075 in additional compensation between 2008 and 2010, according to the report. Why? It may be that developing other talent creates more visibility and a following within the organization for the high-potentials who are doing the developing, which leads to greater reward and recognition for the extra effort.
Women, the report finds, are even more likely than men to develop other talent. Sixty-five percent of women who received career development support are now developing new talent, compared to 56 percent of men, and 73 percent of the women developing new talent are developing women, compared to only 30 percent of men. This finding helps bust the oft-cited "Queen Bee" myth that women are reluctant to provide career support to other women and may even actively undermine each other.
"This report dispels the misconception that women's career advancement lags behind men's because they don't pay it forward to other women. It shows that women are in fact actively helping each other succeed," said Ilene H. Lang, President & CEO of Catalyst. "The notion that women executives are Queen Bees who are unwilling to support other women needs to be put to rest."
Overall, the report finds that high-potentials who are paying it forward today recognize that others once took a risk on them and gave them their chance—and now it's their turn. The men and women who are more likely to be developing others:
- Have themselves received developmental support (59%) vs. those who have not received this type of support (47%).
- Were sponsored (66%) as opposed to not receiving sponsorship (42%).
- Are in senior executive/CEO level positions (64%) vs. those at non-managerial levels (30%).
- Are more proactive when it comes to their own career advancement (63%) vs. those who are relatively inactive (42%) with regard to their own career advancement.
The report poses key questions for companies to consider. For instance: How is your organization creating a culture of talent development? What will motivate your talent to "pay it forward" to the next generation of leaders? How can more men be encouraged to develop women at their organizations? How can organizations disarm stigmas about spending time with the opposite sex at work?
"Paying it forward is an essential element of being an outstanding leader, and it benefits everyone involved—it's a virtuous circle that leads to more of the same," said Ms. Lang. "We hope that this report helps to dispel myths and prompts organizations and leaders to consider ways to pay it forward to make the most of their talent pool."

This research is part of The Promise of Future Leadership: A Research Program on Highly Talented Employees in the Pipeline, a longitudinal study on high-potential talent. Between Fall 2007 and Spring 2010, Catalyst conducted an online survey of alumni who graduated between 1996 and 2007 from MBA programs at 26 leading business schools in Asia, Canada, Europe, and the United States. Findings for this report derive from responses to the survey fielded in 2010, which provided additional information on career progression initially collected in 2008. Data in this report are based on responses from the 742 respondents who had attended full-time MBA programs and had worked full-time at a company or firm as of the 2008 survey. Earlier reports in the series are Opportunity or Setback? High Potential Women and Men During Economic Crisis; Pipeline's Broken Promise; Mentoring: Necessary But Insufficient for Advancement; and The Myth of the Ideal Worker.
Founded in 1962, Catalyst is the leading nonprofit membership organization expanding opportunities for women and business. With offices in the United States, Canada, Europe, and India, and more than 500 preeminent corporations as members, Catalyst is the trusted resource for research, information, and advice about women at work. Catalyst annually honors exemplary organizational initiatives that promote women's advancement with the Catalyst Award.

I am so glad it's Friday!
Can't believe we are only a week away from my Christmas holidays! The weather got so much worse in these couple of days, it's so windy and cold. My faux fur jacket from H&M arrived just in time, to keep me warm!
I love faux fur jackets and I finally got one from H&M about two weeks ago, as it was on sale.. I just had to buy it, it was a bargain! It so warm and cozy and you can pair it with everything.. You can pair it with either casual or a more formal one and it adds such a nice touch to it! I had to pair it with those shoes, I am a huge fan of leopard print and fur! I bought this shirt a year ago and I love wearing it, I think it looks so elegant and I love the bow straps.

My Racist Father... Now An Obama Supporter (UPDATE)
Several months ago, I posted a story on here on how my father and I were no longer speaking due to some extremely racist comments he had made during a political discussion.
That was about two weeks before Easter. The last thing he said to me, after I told him off, was that he "had a lot to think about."
I called him several times, but got no response, and thought he had officially "disowned" me. I was about to give up.
Well, here it is July 10th and I am happy to say that he FINALLY called me.
While there was definitely some tension left over, he did make a point to inform me that he will be voting for Obama this fall. I was so taken back, I didn't know what to say. I was just overwhelmed that he had changed his mind.
Those of you who remember the original post about this know how taken aback I was when he made the comments. But that is not the point, so I won't delve into the details again.
I just wanted to say that we got one more! And if my father can change his mind, anyone can.
I also wanted to thank all of you for the kind words, thoughts, and prayers you sent my way. It was very much appreciated, and I would like to think that the positive vibes I got from you all helped in some way.
One bong for a weak conversion. It'd get 1 1/2 but didn't start with "So..."
He called him tomorrow??This is bigger than presidential politics. This is a battle for America.

Racists for Obama,think they'll run with that idea tommarrow?The 21st century. The age of Smart phones and Stupid people.
It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.
Old man should've stayed a racist. Now he's a closet bigot and a liberal moron. HMMM fits right in with the Democratic Party.

The majestic sun rose slowly over the Cezmi Peninsular, casting its warm glow upon the glassy waters of the Alaçati bay; Just another perfect morning in the paradise of Turkey.
Just one important difference to every other day however: No wind. With local predictions varying all hope hung on a late thermal wind kicking in after lunch. As the day wore on however, expectations dropped and slowly the reality of the situation hit.
However the day was saved with the introduction of the ROZI LADIES CUP. A team challenge generously organized by event partner, Rozi. Team Turkey versus team France versus the World team, in a relay battle in front of an enthusiastic and energetic crowd.
Team Turkey consisted of their finest athletes. Çagla Kubat (Starboard/North Sails), Lena Erdil (Starboard/The Loft) and Melek Toraman (Starboard/North Sails).
Team France included event leader Valerie Ghibaudo (Tabou/The Loft), Alice Arutkin (Starboard/North Sails) and Marion Raïsi (Naish/Naish).
The World Team incorporated three of the event top four, with Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard/NeilPryde), Sarah Hebert (Starboard/Naish) and Karin Jaggi (F2/Severne) making up the seemingly invincible dream team.
From the outset, the favorites dominated with Offringa pumping off into an impressive lead. Behind the remainder of the fleet struggled to plane with Kubat making up valuable ground for Team Turkey.
Ghibaudo did her best to catch up in a last ditch chance for Team France but she was chasing an unattainable lead from The World team. With the crowd cheering, it was Jaggi that crossed the finish first claiming victory and the majority share of the prize purse.
As the party kicked off on the beach, the crowds were treated to free FOSTERS beer and the unofficial FOSTERS bikini contest. Tonight the music is pumping and it looks like the night will be a long one as the PWA enters into its grand finale.
As it stands, Albeau (JP/NeilPryde) leads by a comfortable margin, with Maynard (RRD/NeilPryde) and Dunkerbeck (Starboard/Severne) scrapping for second and third. In the women's fleet, Ghibaudo now looks certain to win both the event and the World title.
Behind her, the fight for the podium remains breathtakingly close between Offringa, Hebert and Jaggi. Whatever happens we are all set for a nail biting finish.

Center for Engineering Diversity (CED) Program 2013
CED Program Overview
1:30-2:30 Lab Tour
2:30-4:30 Activity/Discussion
Activity: Programming the NAO to show emotion.
The overall idea behind this is to give them a mini-research experience. The activity began with a short lecture on Ekman's basic emotions, and the students were given printouts of the research papers discussed. With this information, the students then programmed their Naos to show a basic emotion of their choice. The students creating behaviors using the Nao Choregraphe GUI, a visual programming interface that comes with the robot. There were some parts of emotional expression that were not covered by these papers, or not explained completely, and there was the challenge for the students to translate into code. They had to make some assumptions in their implementations and back them up with information from the literature. After they finished their implementations, they showed them off and discussed their code.
Full breakdown for the activity:
2:30-3:00 Nao Setup and Introduction
3:00-3:15 Emotions Lecture
3:15-4:00 Programming Activity
4:00-4:30 Sharing and Discussion

Even though photography is a "classic" pursuit,,,timeless and discovered by each new generation... the commercial market for photographic equipment is driven by novelty. We, as photographers, tell each other that the smart money is in lenses... that lenses will be useful long after bodies have become obsolete. If that were true - and it mostly is - then the camera manufactures would have a tough time selling anything. The truth is that lenses don't become obsolete, but they are getting better as time goes by.
Unfortunately, "better" also means more expensive. Working with precision optics isn't like working with electronics... there isn't a "Moore's Law" of camera lenses. If you want a better camera lens, i8t will almost invariably be more expensive. Today's lenses are sharper and better corrected than their predecessors, but the average selling price has gone up accordingly. Which brings us to the Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM. Not a red-ring lens. Not a new lens. No fancy coatings. No aspherical elements. Not sexy like the Sony Batis 85mm f/1.8, yet this is almost a no-brainer as far as portrait lenses go for Canon users.

Burnett ended 18 years of journeyman toil by beating a badly out of sorts Jamie Cope 6-1 in the semi-finals yesterday to progress to the first ranking final of his career, a run that has come completely out of the blue.
Carter's appearance in the final is less surprising. The world no.4 has been one of the most consistent performers for the last two years.
From 2-0 down to Mark Selby he was superb, particularly in completing a 69 clearance in the fourth frame with three of the last four reds on cushions.
Carter will be widely expected to triumph today but if the tournament has taught us anything it's to expect the unexpected.
Is there one last twist in the tale?
14 comments:
thank you dave for not going way way over the top about THAT clearance.
ok it was a fantastic clearance.
BUT IT WONT STILL BE BEING TALKED ABOUT IN 28 YEARS and was (in context) nowhere near requiring comparison to the break alez did.
good luck jamie
- 8:08 am
Hello, Dave, I have a question (way off-topic here, sorry for that. It would have been off-topic anywhere but I must ask it and it's your insight into "the gods' secrets" I need lol): I've noticed that some high profile players no longer appear as 110 sport clients on the 110 sport site > Neil Robertson, Ken Doherty, Joe Perry, Marco Fu, Anthony Hamilton, Alan McManus. On the other hand, we have some certain 110 sport players' recent missed opportunities of shutting up and Lee Doyle ambition to re-enter WPBSA board stage. Has Mr Doyle been trying too hard to brainwash and manipulate his clients and some of them just said "No" and "Good-bye"?
- 8:35 am
is that a mistake in your herald write up:
as i thought it was at the SECC this year?
- 8:43 am
- Dave H said...
Fu and Doherty are certainly still with 110sport.
Yes it is at the SECC.
- 8:49 am
There have been loads of clearances under as much pressure and as good as Higgins 28 years ago. Its just that the standard back then was much poorer, so makes it look better.
- 8:50 am
thanks for that dave. at least i will be at the correct venue.
good final so far
- 9:12 am
- Tom said...
Eurosport are quite simply awful,what's the point in showing the first 7 frames and then turning off for recorded rally that can be shown anytime? And even then they don't show the snooker up until it's advertised time! What a joke!
- 9:55 am
Surely the worst thing that could happen following the John Higgins match fixing enquiry was for Jamie Burnett to reach his first ranking final.
Higgins was suspended for discussing a fix and sunsequently not reporting the approach but Burnett was involved in a match everyone thought was going to be a 9-3 defeat before it happened.
Even the commnetators said so during the match.
Its a bad result for snooker that Burnett is in the final as he could at least have been suspended pending the case rather than win 30k+ here today.
Sad and avoidable.
- 10:02 am
If Burnett wins what are the odds the CPS will make an announcement? There was a far stronger case for suspending Burnett than Higgins (you can't fake betting patterns - they're the equivalent of DNA evidence in gambling fraud because mathematical analysis can calculate the exact odds of such a pattern occurring) but yet here we are...
- 1:12 pm
Where are we now with the Burnett/ McGuire enquiry?
And will any more be done about the Ebdon/Wenbo match? Dave, could you perhaps get Alan Chamberlains' comprehensive view on this match,either on the blog or in Snooker Scene?
If we are gonna clean up the sport every incident must be fully investigated without fear or favour.
- 6:32 pm
to those making negative comments about Jamie
think about the comments said about John being guilty having only "seen" one side of the story.
i know Jamie. Im quite sure his side of the story has been told to the police and as such hes not been charged with anything.
these guys are sports stars, but they are human beings too!!
control yourselves from being judge and jury without knowing "all" evidence you fools.

"There have been loads of clearances under as much pressure and as good as Higgins 28 years ago. Its just that the standard back then was much poorer, so makes it look better."
so many people missing the point with that break Alex did nothing can make that break look better it was a poor break what made it great was stage in the match and the risky pots he took on in it that if he missed just one he was out.
the carter break was great because he nudged balls on in to pottable position if he failed he played safe Alex just potted ball after ball under pressure just to give himself and the crowd a Buzz.

Alex was pissed out of his brain, Ali was stone cold sober, Alex was never in position, Ali was never out of position. Two great 69 breaks, two match turning breaks and two completely different breaks which cannot be compared to each other.
