Drawing on quantitative and qualitative data from teachers and
students in Hong Kong's secondary schools, this book examines
critical questions in relation to language learning motivation and
instructional contexts. Readers are provided with a critical
overview of developments in theory and research on language
learning motivation and the potential to further extend these
developments. Grounded in the Douglas Fir Group conceptualization
of language learning, the book explores the complex interplay of
diverse factors that shape learners' motivation. It offers a unique
window into the situated nature of language learning motivation in
the macro, meso, and micro contexts of a Chinese heritage society.
In so doing, it brings the Chinese voice into the theorization of
this important language learning construct. Potential future
research avenues are suggested, and implications for policy and
practice are discussed. This book will be a useful resource for
academics and postgraduates interested in the fields of English as
a second language (ESL), English language teaching, language
teaching and learning.
