Abstract
Our main aim in compiling this volume has been to draw attention to the emerging field of language learning psychology and lay some groundwork for future possible developments in both theoretical and empirical terms. In this final chapter, we explore some common themes that we see as emerging from the chapters, considering explicitly what the multiple new directions in language learning psychology could be in terms of constructs, contexts, populations as well as theoretical and methodological frameworks.
