This timely and highly innovative book draws attention to the vitally important area of language teacher psychology specifically in the online space. Drawing on a large-scale dataset, Honggang explores four under-researched constructs from an ecological perspective adding rich, original insights to the field. The volume represents a unique, invaluable resource.

The book draws on an ecological perspective to systematically examine language teacher psychology in online teaching during the pandemic. Its timely publication enables us to consolidate what we have learned about language teachers psychological needs and experiences in challenging conditions so that they did not toil in vain.

Dr Honggang Liu deserves credit for embarking on such a systematic study into language teacher psychology. This work is particularly important given the immense workload and psychological stress many teachers go through. It is a timely publication that has successfully filled a void in the existing literature on foreign language teacher education.
