Abstract:

Directed motivational currents (DMCs) are goal-directed motivational surges in
pursuit of a much-desired personal outcome. This book introduces the reader to
cutting-edge theory and research in second language learner motivation and
presents empirical research which investigates DMCs in the context of language
learning. The studies explore the wider relevance of DMC theory from
participants recruited worldwide, answering questions such as how many (and
which) participants reported having experienced DMCs and what emerged as
common triggers initiating such experiences. The studies also discuss the
pedagogical implications of DMC theory, investigating whether it is possible
to design and implement a project (specifically, a project ‘with DMC
potential’) in such a way that it may be able to purposefully facilitate a
group-DMC with learners in a second language classroom. The book’s accessible
writing style makes it suitable for researchers and students who are
interested in second language learning as well as for teachers and trainee
teachers who are looking for classroom inspiration.
