This book provides a unique reference and comprehensive overview of
the issues pertinent to conceptualizing, measuring, researching and
nurturing writing motivation. Abdel Latif covers these theoretical,
practical and research issues by drawing on the literature related
to the eight main constructs of writing motivation: writing
apprehension, attitude, anxiety, self-efficacy, self-concept,
learning goals, perceived value of writing and motivational
regulation. Specifically, the book covers the historical research
developments of the field, the measures of the main writing
motivation constructs, the correlates and sources of writing
motivation, and profiles of motivated and demotivated writers. The
book also describes the types of the instructional research of
writing motivation, provides pedagogical guidelines and procedures
for motivating students to write, and presents suggestions for
advancing writing motivation research, measurement and pedagogy.
Detailed, up-to-date, and with a glossary which includes
definitions of the main terms used in the six chapters, this book
will be of great interest to academics, researchers and
post-graduate students in the fields of language education, applied
linguistics, psycholinguistics and educational psychology.
