Psicogênese da Língua Estrangeira
Learning, Anxiety and Access to English
Why can someone study English for years and still feel unable to access it when they need to speak?
LAUNCH DATE · 26 SEPTEMBER 2026
(not) Working in London
Getting the job was only the beginning.
Marina Costa is qualified and ambitious, but at a London consultancy she discovers that being hired does not mean being heard. Between meetings, office politics and an unequal salary spreadsheet, she learns to negotiate, navigate corporate language and find her place at the table.
With sharp humour and a distinctly British workplace atmosphere, this story is for intermediate to advanced English readers, with natural expressions, realistic workplace conversations and business vocabulary in context.
Because understanding English at work is one thing; knowing what people really mean is another.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Between knowing and being able to use what we know.
The book brings together learning, language, the body, anxiety and subjectivity to explore how knowledge of a language is constructed — and what can happen along the way between knowing something and being able to use that knowledge.
A book for people learning English, for those who teach it and for anyone who believes that learning a language also means discovering new ways of being in the world.
Who Is This Book For?
Adults who study English and want to understand the gap between knowing the language and being able to use it. Teachers and educators interested in the relationships between learning, anxiety and subjectivity.
Questions Explored in the Book
• How do we construct knowledge in a foreign language?
• What can happen when we need to speak under pressure?
• How do the body, our personal histories and our relationships with others shape learning?
New Me
One Story, Six Levels of English (A1–C2)
How Far Can You Read? — Book One
A story in English that progresses from A1 to C2 across six chapters. Identity, relationships and belonging unfold through a reading experience that becomes more complex at each stage.
You do not need to understand every word to keep going. New Me invites you to follow the story, make meaning and discover new possibilities for reading in English.
