Description
Directed Motivational Currents (DMCs) is a new conceptualization that views motivation as a self-renewing and sustainable process. This book introduces DMCs, exploring their defining aspects and how they relate to language learning motivation.
Going beyond focused behavior in a single activity, DMCs concern intensive long-term motivation. The theory distinguishes motivation from other constructs by viewing it as an energizing capacity that drives sustained learning. With its accessible style and practical suggestions, this book offers new insights for both motivation researchers and classroom practitioners.
Language teachers, teacher educators, and researchers in TESOL and applied linguistics will find the DMC construct helpful in integrating into course structures and teaching methodologies. The book provides novel methods for harnessing motivational power in classroom settings, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to promote sustained learning.
