Abstract:

This edited volume focuses on the experiences of individuals learning
languages other than English (LOTEs) in a range of Asian contexts that
have traditionally been under-represented in the literature. Aligning
with the ‘multilingual turn’ in SLA, it views learners as individuals
of a multilingual society with unique, complex, heterogenous and
dynamic identities. The chapters explore the learners’ motivational
trajectories, multilingual identities and their conceptualisations of
the ‘ideal multilingual self’. This volume enhances our critical
understanding of language learning motivation through empirical
findings and conceptual insights from studies of motivation in
specific regions in Asia, including Greater China, Indonesia, Japan,
Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Pakistan and Syria. Providing insight into the
multilingual identities of individuals learning LOTEs, it will appeal
to students and scholars in second language acquisition, researchers
in language learning motivation and policymakers in language
education.
