Abstract:
The issue of learner motivation has long exercised researchers and practitioners in the field of language education. However, it is only within the past decade or so that we have witnessed productive interaction between the interests of researchers and teachers. Up until the early 1990s, research interest focused primarily on describing, measuring and classifying language learner motivation and exploring its role in theoretical models of the language learning process. The findings from such research offered little to teachers concerned with the practical question of how to motivate their learners and keep them motivated. Moreover, this research agenda was powerfully shaped by social-psychological perspectives on learner attitudes to target language cultures and people (Gardner 1985; Gardner and Lambert 1972), while motivational influences and processes within the social environment of the language classroom remained relatively unexplored. In a seminal critique of the social-psychological tradition, Crookes and Schmidt (1991) set forth a new agenda for research on a more ‘practitioner-validated’ classroom-based concept of language learning motivation. The need to establish closer links between theory and practice and to develop what Dörnyei (2001a:103) has called more ‘education-friendly’ approaches to language learning motivation research stimulated an unprecedented wave of discussion during the mid-1990s (for a detailed summary, see Dörnyei 1998), and has considerably reshaped the direction of theory and research in the field.
