About the Theme<\/h2>\n

Motivation, Identity and Autonomy in Foreign Language Education<\/p>\nMotivation, identity and autonomy play important roles in the language learning process. Motivation can be of different types, nature (intrinsic vs. extrinsic) and levels (or strengths), some of which are more significant for effective language learning, than others. Identity refers to the dynamic representations of self that a language learner adopts, constructs, maintains or negotiate, in relation to his social, cultural and political contexts. Autonomy in learning is the active involvement in and willingness to take charge of one\u2019s learning as well as the capability to do so.
\nWhat are the interrelations between the motivation, identity and autonomy? What is the impact on motivation when language learners are encouraged to speak of themselves, and to express and engage their own identities through the language? At the same time, it is well established that motivation has an influence on the autonomy of language learners, but what is the nature of this influence and to what extent are these two notions linked? Next, how and to what extent does enabling foreign language learners to \u2018speak as themselves\u2019 in the target language with their own identities promote language learner autonomy? Or can identity be seen as a goal or product of autonomous learning?\nCLaSIC 2018 provides a platform for researchers, scholars and practitioners in foreign language education for an invigorating discourse on theoretical conceptions and approaches, research insights, and practical experiences from the various sub-fields and sub-themes listed below, as they pertain to motivation, identity and autonomy in foreign language teaching and learning.\n
