Abstract: Long-term motivational persistence in language learning Motivation concerns the choice and direction of a particular action, the effort expended on it and the long-term persistence with it. However, the last motivational dimensions – long-term persistence – has received far less attention in past research than the other components, even though student motivation is known to display continuous ebbs and flows as well as a steady ‘leak’, that is, a tendency to peter out with time. This paper will describe the main components of motivational persistence, and will offer several strategies to promote it in language learners. Bio: Zoltán Dörnyei is Professor of Psycholinguistics at the School of English, University of Nottingham. He has published extensively on second language acquisition and language learning motivation, and he is the author of over 25 books, including Research Methods in Applied Linguistics (2007, Oxford University Press), The Psychology of the Language Learner Revisited (2015, Routledge, with S. Ryan), Innovations and Challenges in Language Learning Motivation (2020, Routledge) and Engaging Language Learners in Contemporary Classrooms (2020, Cambridge University Press, with S. Mercer). #motivation #education #languagelearning #tokyojalt #jalt #teaching https://www.instagram.com/p/CNj_czsj6jj/?igshid=1ffpii4fuv3c
