learners and teachers as individuals with various aspects of their psychology involved, including self-concept, motivation, identities, beliefs, agency, emotions, strategies, styles, etc.,
the learning process and its outcomes, and
the diversity of contexts where the learning and teaching of languages takes place these days.
