Teaching and Researching Motivation
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-54346-1 (ISBN)
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.
Zoltán Dörnyei is Professor of Psycholinguistics at the School of English, University of Nottingham. He has published extensively on various aspects of language learner characteristics and second language acquisition, and he is the (co-)author of over 100 academic papers and 25 books. Ema Ushioda is Professor and Head of Applied Linguistics at the University of Warwick. Her main research interests are language learning motivation and learner autonomy, promoting qualitative approaches in particular, and she has published widely in these areas.
