Cultivating motivation is crucial to a language learner's success - and
therefore crucial for the language teacher and researcher to understand.
The third edition of Teaching and Researching Motivation reflects the
dramatic changes in the field of motivation research. With an increased
emphasis on dynamic perspectives on motivation and its relations with
other individual, social and contextual factors, this book offers ways
in which advances in the field can be put to practical use in the
classroom and in research.
Key new features and material:
- exploration of the motivation to learn languages other than English
(LOTEs);
- principles for designing L2 motivational studies;
- discussion of emerging areas of research, including unconscious
motivation and language learning mindsets.
Providing a clear and comprehensive theory-driven account of
motivation*, Teaching and Researching Motivation* examines how
theoretical insights can be used in everyday teaching practice. The
final section provides a range of useful resources, including relevant
websites, key reference works and an online repository of tools and
instruments for researching language learning motivation. Fully revised
by pre-eminent researchers in this field, Zoltán Dörnyei and Ema
Ushioda, this is an invaluable resource for teachers and researchers
alike.
