10 Foreword Zoltán Dörnyei The main theme underlying this book is the conviction shared by all the contributors that language learning cannot be reduced to a process of input and intake of linguistic information. While there is clearly a well-definable linguistic code as the outcome of the language acquisition enterprise, the process of learning is a holistic one, affecting and drawing on the whole range of the learner s personality features, mindsets, and mental capabilities. The selection of chapters in this volume offers an up-to-date and in-depth description of the main facets of this learner learning interface. Having written a book about the same topic not that long ago (The psychology of the language learner, 2005), the interesting question for me was to see how the field has moved forward since I prepared my summary (which, of course, is a polite way of saying that I was keen to check whether these guys really had anything new to say...). What struck me first was the list of contributors; while a single-author book can often provide a more coherent narrative than an edited volume, the latter has the advantage of potentially offering focused specialist insights, and this volume is a prime example of this. The editors have successfully netted some of the foremost and most active researchers in the field to contribute chapters in their specialization areas. I can well imagine how much effort organizing this collaborative work must have taken on their part, but the result is certainly very impressive! Regarding the content, outstanding scholars are expected to generate rich substance and this is indeed the case in this volume. The chapters go beyond offering standard reviews of the relevant literatures; while they do contain succinct summaries of the evolution of the topics in question, they also consciously highlight the latest concerns, deliberations, dilemmas, and crossroads. In this sense, the book can be used as a reference book of the all-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about... type, which, of course, raises the question: know about what? We must realize that this is not a comprehensive summary of all the psychological aspects of the second language acquisition (SLA) process as it does not cover psycholinguistic and neurobiological issues. This restriction was intentional in order to create sufficient coherence within the volume: as the editors state right at the beginning, their focus was on the main x
11 Foreword xi psychological constructs typically addressed by educational psychology, centring on the learner as the primary agent of the acquisition process. Within this domain, however, the collection of studies in the volume aims for comprehensiveness, and readers will obtain a detailed and rounded picture, with no obvious omissions. This is an invaluable feature of any work in an age when it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep abreast of any research area. In sum, I wholeheartedly recommend this book as an excellent overview of a complex but intriguing research domain. Anybody interested in the fundamental question of why some learners master a foreign language faster and more easily than others will find a solid theoretical basis with lots of practical implications in this ambitious volume. It is a must for the bookshelves of applied linguists and language teaching specialists alike.
