Zoltán Dörnyei is Professor ofPsycholinguistics at the University ofNottingham. Applied Linguistics Adviser: H. G. Widdowson This is just the book that Ive been thinking somebody ought to write. The writing style and the organization make it really accessible and Dörnyei s straightforwardness, huge scholarship, respect for different viewpoints, sense of humour, and his sense of responsibility all come through in the text.
