Invited keynote speaker: Dr Sal Consoli, University of Edinburgh,
United Kingdom, ‘Language Learning Motivation: Advances in a
Socially-oriented Research Arena’

This international seminar is framed within the Re: ERUA Project ‘If
you can dream it, you can achieve it: International Winged Stories’, a
collaboration between Université Paris 8 and Universidad de Las Palmas
de Gran Canaria.

The International Seminar seeks to extend the pivotal role of
motivation in language learning by examining how such research can
contribute to broader societal transformations and foster positive
social impacts, and aims to promote collaboration and networking among
international researchers interested in L2 motivation and societal
impact.

In the last six decades, there has been a notable increase in
scholarly attention towards L2 learning motivation, from the social
psychological beginnings (Gardner & Lambert 1972) to cognitive
theories (Dörnyei 1994), a focus on time (Dörnyei & Otto 1998),
context (Ushioda 1996, 2009), vision (Dörnyei 2009), and more
cutting-edge concepts, such as unconscious motivation (e.g. Al-Hoorie
2015, 2016a, 2016b), Dweck’s (2017) mindset theory, Ushioda’s
person-focused view of motivation (Ushioda 2016, 2023) and quest for
an ethical agenda (Ushioda 2020), or Consoli’s (2021, 2022) life
capital concept.

While the balance continues to fall in favour of theory development
(Ushioda 2020), researchers have begun to turn their gaze on
pedagogical applications and “pursue [...] an agenda for social
justice and change” (Ushioda 2020, p. 113) by exploring different
avenues of cultivating such a beneficial societal shift through L2
learning motivation research (Banegas 2019, Consoli 2021, 2022,
Ghasemi 2021, Sadfari 2021, Sandu & Rodríguez Gil 2023, Sato 2021),
which emerges as a powerful tool to break down barriers to learning,
fostering a more inclusive and dynamic educational environment.
