Abstract. The editors of this book are Christina Gkonou, PhD in English Language Teaching and MA in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (University of Essex, UK); Jean-Marc Dewaele, PhD in French Language and Literature, MA in French and Spanish, MA in European and International Law, and MA in International Relations with Western Europe (Free University of Brussels); and Jim King, PhD and MA in Applied Linguistics (University of Nottingham). The book is based on the premise that teaching is not only about transmitting academic knowledge, but also about inspiring students; establishing connections between teachers and students; and creating pedagogical relationships grounded in empathy, trust, and patience. The text itself suggests that one of the most important ways for teachers to achieve stable emotional relationships is to understand and manage their own emotions in a healthy way, in order to provide an emotionally supportive environment for their students.
