Cultivating motivation is crucial to a language learner's success - and therefore crucial for the language teacher and researcher to understand. This fully revised edition of a groundbreaking work reflects the dramatic changes the field of motivation research has undergone in recent years, including the impact of language globalisation and various dynamic and relational research methodologies, and offers ways in which this research can be put to practical use in the classroom and in research.

Key new features and material:

* A brand new chapter on current socio-dynamic and complex systems perspectives

* New approaches to motivating students based on the L2 Motivational Self System

* Illustrative summaries of qualitative and mixed methods studies

* Samples of new self-related motivation measures

Providing a clear and comprehensive theory-driven account of motivation, Teaching and Researching Motivation examines how theoretical insights can be used in everyday teaching practice, and offers practical tips. The final section provides a range of useful resources, including relevant websites, key reference works and tried and tested example questionnaires. Written in an accessible style and illustrated with concrete examples, it is an invaluable resource for teachers and researchers alike.

Part of the highly-regarded Applied Linguistics in Action series, Teaching and Researching: Motivation, provides the most up-to-date coverage of the rapidly-changing field of motivation research and practice. The new edition takes into account the radical reframing of motivation since 2001 and offers a completely updated map of the field, encompassing recent advances, highlighting the current paradigmatic shift in thinking, and pointing forward to future developments and directions in research and practice.
