Abstract:

Offering a historical and empirical account, this book provides a 
comprehensive overview of the socio-educational model of second language 
acquisition. This approach to understanding motivational variables that 
promote success in the learning of a second or foreign language - 
distinguishing between language classroom motivation and language learning 
motivation - is a major one in the history of this field of research. Chapters 
include a discussion of the definition and measurement of motivation; 
historical foundations of the model; recent studies with the International 
Attitude Motivation Test Battery for English as a foreign language in different 
countries; the implications of the model to the classroom context; and a 
discussion of criticisms and misconceptions of the model. The book provides 
graduate students and researchers with unique coverage of this research-
oriented approach as well as serving as a source book for the area. It is ideal 
for courses on motivation in second language learning, or as a supplemental 
text for research-oriented courses in applied linguistics, educational 
psychology, or language research in general. 

Robert C. Gardner obtained his Ph.D. in psychology from McGill University in 
1960 under the direction of Wallace E. Lambert. He spent his last year of 
residency studying and working with John B. Carroll at the Graduate School 
of Education, Harvard University. He joined the Department of Psychology at 
the University of Western Ontario as a lecturer in 1961, and was promoted to 
Assistant Professor in 1962, Associate professor in 1966, and Professor in 
1970. In July 2000, he was appointed Professor Emeritus of Psychology at 
the University of Western Ontario, where he is continuing his research on 
individual differences in second language acquisition, teaching the graduate 
course in research design, and serving as statistical consultant to the 
department.
