“The combination of theory and practice in this volume contributes to expanding its readership. Experts as well as novice researchers of L2 motivation will benefit from this arrangement, as the former have a deep understanding of L2 motivation but can learn about new areas, and the latter can attain insight on the topic. As a comprehensive and practical conclusion of current L2 motivation research, this volume will guide researchers to further probe into L2 motivation.” (Lixiang Gao & Honggang Liu, Revista Española de Lingüística Aplicada, Vol. 34 (2), 2021)
