A language socialization paradigm suggests that emotions not only mediate the learning experience, but are themselves negotiated and constructed within interaction. From a practical viewpoint, affective stances are important because they help to align language members and communicate sociocultural information that regulates participation in a speech community.

Abstract

[This chapter examines how language capital is structured by various formal and informal spaces, such as family, work, and within the ESL classroom. More specifically, this chapter focuses on the important process of affective positioning and how ESL socialization impacts the framing of emotions. A language socialization paradigm suggests that emotions not only mediate the learning experience, but are themselves negotiated and constructed within interaction. From a practical viewpoint, affective stances are important because they help to align language members and communicate sociocultural information that regulates participation in a speech community. We highlight how socialization within the ESL classroom serves to build positive affective positions and encourage English language practice.]
