Schurz, Alexandra; Sundqvist, Pia – Applied Linguistics, 2022
Today, we globally observe a sharp increase in learners' engagement in extramural (out-of-class) English (EE; Sundqvist 2009). This undoubtedly affords new opportunities for, but also challenges to, English language teaching (ELT) and learning. To our knowledge, this study is the first to explore this topic from a cross-national perspective. Upper…

Digital video production (DVP) provides one such opportunity. Little, however, is known about the types of DVP common in particular contexts of ELT, the extent to…

Henry, Alastair – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2019
Digital technologies are increasingly common in language learning.

Using…

Henry, Alastair; Thorsen, Cecilia – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2018
L2 motivation research has a longstanding monolingual bias. Recently, however, the motivational systems of a multilingual's different languages have been conceptualised as constituting a multilingual motivational system, and it has been suggested that interactions between the ideal Lx self and the ideal Ly self can lead to the emergence of an…

Thorsen, Cecilia; Henry, Alastair; Cliffordson, Christina – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2020
In the L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS) motivation is conceptualized to be generated by discomfort associated with the learner's experience of a discrepancy between their current L2 self, and their ideal L2 self. However, in the L2MSS model, this discrepancy is not operationalized. A questionnaire containing measures of current L2 selves was…

This study synthesises the L2 motivational self system (ideal L2 self and ought-to L2 self) and attitudes…
