Part of: Oxford Applied Linguistics ISBN: 978-0-19-441882-9 In this thought-provoking book, Ema Ushioda asks why we research language learning motivation, whose interests the research serves, and who ultimately benefits. Examining the major theoretical and research developments in this vibrant field from its origins to the present day, the author interrogates the goals and values driving academic inquiry, and argues for a more socially conscious and socially responsive orientation to researching language learning motivation. The book challenges this research field to contribute to critical movements in applied linguistics to address globally and locally relevant societal issues where language and motivation matter.

The series attracts single or co-authored volumes from authors researching at the cutting edge of this dynamic field of interdisciplinary enquiry. The titles range from books that make such developments accessible to the non-specialist reader to those which explore in depth their relevance for the way language is to be conceived as a subject, and how courses and classroom activities are to be designed. As such, these books not only extend the field of applied linguistics itself and lend an additional significance to its enquiries, but also provide an indispensable professional foundation for language pedagogy and its practice.The scope of the series includes:second language acquisitionbilingualism and multi/plurilingualismlanguage pedagogy and teacher educationtesting and assessmentlanguage planning and policylanguage internationalizationtechnology-mediated communicationdiscourse, conversation, and contrastive-analysispragmaticsstylisticslexicographytranslation Reviews Ema Ushioda's compelling, authoritative and timely book re-writes the story of L2 motivation research through the ethical lens.
