In adopting a longitudinal perspective, the book fills a research gap and provides a macro-level analysis of motivational development over time. It reveals a surprising amount of stability in primary school children's motivational and attitudinal development. The comparative perspective looks at the learners' affective dispositions with regard to English (theorized as a 'global language') and French (theorized as a 'national language'). The comparisons between global language and national language are relevant across the world, especially in situations where instruction in languages other than English struggles to get attention. The results reveal sizeable differences between the two languages, with children being substantially more motivated to learn English than to learn French. Finally, the explanatory section identifies key antecedents of the learners' motivational and attitudinal dispositions - and thereby opens up paths for intervention relevant for those working in the field of language instruction."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching (Elementary) 606 $aLanguage arts (Elementary) 606 $2Language acquisition 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching (Elementary) 615 0$aLanguage arts (Elementary) 676 $a372.6 700 $aHeinzmann$b Sybille$01513000 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786861003321 996 $aYoung Language Learners' motivation and attitudes$93747235 997 $aUNINA
