Publisher: Multilingual Matters
On the part of students, research has shown that positive opinions and negative opinions have impacted attitude and motivation for learning anything, especially a second language. Ushioda (Eds.), Motivation, language identity and the L2 self (pp. Considerable exertion has been devoted to testing the "identity hypothesis," which asserts that first-language and second-language acquisition conform to the same patterns. And this has drawn a great deal of interest from SLA scholars. More research is now appearing on self-directed language learning, but a lot of work remains to be done to identify the best ways to prepare learners for this. In his L2 motivational self system (Dörnyei 2005, 2009) proposes three major dimensions of L2 motivation: the 'ideal L2 self', the 'ought-to L2 self” and the “L2 learning experience”. It is argued that the very fact of being able to "chat" in L2 in this way may constitute an additional motivation for actually making the effort to learn the language, as learners may be keen to maintain and develop their new online friendships.

Other factors include the cognitive maturity of most L2 learners, that they have different motivation for learning the language, and already speak one language fluently. Also, there have been many studies on language of language as learned from their L1 culture at home. Therefore, while attending school, L2 learners are forced to develop a “bischematic” identity in which the linguistic norms from their home culture and their school culture can coexist. Here are some of the reformulations that this social lens has generated of central topics of inquiry to L2 (second/foreign language learning) research. Studies in individual differences, motivation and learners' beliefs (amongst others) point to the importance of increasing our understanding of the contributions learners make to their own learning (Breen, 2001) and the ways ..
