This book brings together contributions from the leaders of the language learning motivation field. The varied chapters demonstrate how Gardner's work remains integral to a diverse range of contemporary theoretical issues underlying the psychology of language, even today, 60 years after the publication of Gardner and Lambert's seminal 1959 paper. The chapters cover a wide selection of topics related to applied linguistics, second language acquisition, social psychology, sociology, methodology and historical issues. The book advances thinking on cutting-edge topics in these diverse areas, providing a wealth of information for both students and established scholars that show the continuing and future importance of Gardner and Lambert's ideas.

Reviews for Contemporary Language Motivation Theory: 60 Years Since Gardner and Lambert (1959)

This book highlights how Robert Gardner’s seminal work has influenced the research of an array of scholars who, through diverse, rigourous methods, have developed their own important lines of inquiry on topics such as identity, acculturation, emotions, and well-being, culminating in a unique perspective on the social psychology of language and intergroup relations. * Kimberly A. Noels, University of Alberta, Canada * Anyone seeking an up-to-date assessment of sixty years of motivation research since Gardner and Lambert’s (1959) ground-breaking proposal for a social-educational model will find in this volume a treasure trove of theoretical, empirical, and methodological insights, made all the richer by critical, dialogic engagement alongside personal reminiscences by top researchers in the field. * Heidi Byrnes, Georgetown University, USA * This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in learning more about Robert Gardner himself and his personal relationship with some of the renowned authors in this book as well as the significant ways Gardner has made an impact in their personal and professional lives. It is my opinion that this book has the potential to push the field of language learning motivation forward -- Jelena Vuksanovic, University of Houston, USA * LINGUIST List 31.1737 * The volume...is an impressive tribute to a pioneer in the ever-expanding and developing fields of L2 learning motivation and social psychology of language learning. -- Matthew T. Apple, Ritsumeikan University, Japan * JALT Journal, 42.2, Nov 2020 *
