Motivation, Language Attitudes and Globalisation

This volume presents the results of the largest ever language attitude/motivation study, involving over 13,000 teenage language learners in Hungary surveyed in 1993, 1999 and 2004. The results are not confined to the European context but have wider implications concerning attitude change, motivational dynamics and language globalisation.

Zoltán Dörnyei was a Professor of Psycholinguistics at the University of Nottingham, UK. He published extensively on second language acquisition and learner psychology, with a particular focus on language learner motivation.
