Hello! As the title suggests, I'm starting to gather some beta readers who are interested in understanding more about anxiety when studying a foreign language and how to overcome it. I've been researching this topic for a few years now and have been developing a book becuase frankly, there's no real resource out there exploring this. My aim is to help readers with:
– Understanding how anxiety interacts with our learning process
– Developing techniques to reducing anxiety, stress, and shifting our perspective to being more helpful
– Define clear goals for langauge study and maintain high motivation
– Knowing what effective study feels like
– Tolerating the discomfort of studying
The book is about 2/3 complete and still in a rough draft form, so there are bound to be typos and citations still need to be implemented. I'd be interested in knowing where the book helps you and where you're confused and need some further clarification. I have a few people already on the list, but If you're interested in reading it, you can send me a DM with your email address, and I'll send you a link to my draft. Thanks for your time, all the best!
