Inhibitory associative learning counters the effects of excitatory learning, whether appetitively or aversively motivated. Moreover, the affective responses accompanying the inhibitory associations are of opponent valence to the excitatory conditione...

Digital innovations in L2 motivation: harnessing the power of the Ideal L2 Self (2018)
Journal Article
Adolphs, S., Clark, L., Dörnyei, Z., Glover, T., Henry, A., Muir, C., …Valstar, M. (in press). Digital innovations in L2 motivation: harnessing the power of the Ideal L2 Self. System, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.system.2018.07.014

Sustained motivation is crucial to learning a second language (L2), and one way to support this can be through the mental visualisation of ideal L2 selves (Dörnyei & Kubanyiova, 2014). This paper reports on an exploratory study which investigated the... Read More about Digital innovations in L2 motivation: harnessing the power of the Ideal L2 Self.
