This handbook offers an authoritative, one-stop reference work for
the dynamic and expanding field of language learning motivation.
The 32 chapters have been specially commissioned from the field's

compelling picture of the motivations people have for learning
languages, the diverse ways we can research motivation, and the
implications for promoting and sustaining learners' motivation. The
first section outlines the main theoretical approaches to language
learning motivation; the next section presents ways in which
motivation theory has been applied in practice; the third section
showcases examples of motivation research in particular contexts
and with particular types of language learners; and the final
section describes the exciting directions that contemporary
research is taking, promising important new insights for academics
and practitioners alike.
