Distributed for the National Foreign Language Resource Center
“Opens new paths for theory and research” —Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2003
This volume, the second in this series concerned with motivation and foreign language learning, includes papers presented in a state-of-the-art colloquium on L2 motivation at the American Association for Applied Linguistics (Vancouver, 2000) and a number of specially commissioned studies. The 20 chapters, written by some of the best known researchers in the field, cover a wide range of theoretical and research methodological issues and also offer empirical results (both qualitative and quantitative) concerning the learning of many different languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, Filipino, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish) in a broad range of learning contexts (Bahrain, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Spain, and the US).
Zoltan Dornyei has served as director of studies in the Ph.D. programme in language pedagogy at Eotvos University, Budapest, and as co-director of the Centre for Research in Applied Linguistics at Nottingham University. Richard Schmidt is a professor in the Department of Second Language Studies (formerly English as a Second Language) and director of the National Foreign Language Resource Center at the University of Hawai‘i.
