Publisher Description: Motivation is a vital element in learning, and the most commonly cited explanation for success or failure in language learning. Jill Hadfield and Zoltán Dörnyei present a new theory of motivation centred around the notion of the ~Ideal Future Language Self, arguing that if students have a rich and inspiring vision of themselves as successful future language learners and users, they will be motivated to work hard to actualise the vision and become that learner. This book:
This is an ideal guide to and activity book for the theory and practice of motivation in language learning for students and teachers alike. |
