This book explores the motivations of adult second language (L2)
learners to learn Italian in continuing education settings in
Australia. It focuses on their motivational drives, learning
trajectories and related dynamics of identity development triggered
by the learning process. Central to the study are adult L2
learners, who are still a largely under-researched and growing
group of learners, and readers will gain a better understanding of
the learning process of this specific group of learners and ideas
for sustaining L2 adult learning motivation in continuing education
settings. Furthermore, the book discusses the role played by the
Italian migrant community in Australia in making Italian a
sought-after language to learn. It explores how a migrant community
may influence motivation, and highlights and expands on the notion
of L2 learning contexts, showing the existence of sociocultural
environments where second language learning trajectories are
affected by the presence of migrant groups.
