Abstract

In recent decades, few educational concepts have inspired more publications than motivation, the field of language learning also benefitting from a number of noteworthy volumes on the topic (Chambers, 1999; Dörnyei & Ushioda, 2011; Murray et al., 2011; Ushioda, 1996). This very volume is a clear indication that not only is motivation in language learning and teaching still generating very lively discussions, but also that these discussions have now reached a clearly global status. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
