Working from the lived experience of the participants, the study describes how action research methods were used to explore the dynamic conditions operating in a foreign language classroom in Japan. The book draws attention to the highly personalised and individual, yet equally co-formed nature of classroom foreign language learning motivation and to the importance of agency and emotions in language learning. It presents an extended illustration of the applicability of complex systems theory for research design and process in SLA and its narrative approach shines light upon the evolving nature of research and role of the researcher. The study will be a valuable resource for practitioners, researchers and postgraduate students interested in classroom language teaching and learning, especially those with a focus on motivation among learners.Second language acquisition (Clevedon, England) ;Volume 101.Language and languagesStudy and teachingJapanese speakersLanguages, ModernStudy and teachingJapanSecond language acquisitionJapanMotivation (Psychology)JapanTeacher-student relationshipsJapanJapanClassroom managmentLanguage and languagesStudy and teachingJapanese speakers.Languages, ModernStudy and teachingSecond language acquisitionMotivation (Psychology)Teacher-student relationships418.0071052Sampson Richard J.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1251613DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9911009147603321Complexity in Classroom Foreign Language Learning Motivation4395772UNINA
