Motivation Language Identity and The L2 Self - (Chapter 5 Learning Experiences Selves and Motivated Learning Behaviour... )
Introduction
There is a Hungarian proverb, which says ‘you are as many men as
many languages you speak’. This proverb is usually interpreted in two
different ways: the more languages you speak, the more opportunities
open up for you in your life, or when using another language, you
become a different person. The proverb’s first meaning is especially
important for Hungarians since there are only around 15 million L1
speakers of Hungarian in the world. The second meaning of the proverb
expresses that language and identity are hardly separable and when
learning another language, one’s self also undergoes a change. Guiora
and Acton argue for the existence of a different self in the foreign
language, termed ‘language ego’, which is based on the psychological
experience shared by many language learners that ‘one feels like a

different person when speaking a second language and often indeed acts
very differently as well’ (Guiora & Acton, 1979: 199). Whereas the role of
self-concept has been thoroughly researched in studies of foreign
language learning anxiety (e.g. Young, 1992), it is only recently that the
self-concept has become a subject of investigation and theorising in the
L2 motivation literature (Dörnyei, 2005).
L2 learners’ self-concept was implicitly incorporated in Gardner’s
construct of integrative motivation, which implies varied psychological
and emotional identification either with the target language community
(Gardner, 2001), or if no salient L2 community is present in the
immediate learning environment, identification with values associated
with the L2 community and/or the language or identification with
the language itself (Dörnyei, 1990). By the 21st century, however, English
has become an international language serving as a lingua franca in a
globalised world (e.g. Crystal, 2003; Widdowson, 1994). Therefore the

English language has become separated from its native speakers and
their cultures (Skutnabb-Kangas, 2000). Integrativeness in the sense as
defined by Gardner involves the language learners’ identification with
native speakers of the L2, but in today’s world it seems to be more
appropriate to talk about ‘World English identity’ (Dörnyei, 2005) or
‘international posture’ (Yashima, 2002), which includes ‘interest in
foreign or international affairs, willingness to go overseas to study or
work, readiness to interact with intercultural partners . . . and a non-
ethnocentric attitude toward different cultures’ (Yashima, 2002: 57; see
also Yashima, this volume). The lack of identification with native
speakers of English as a significant motivating factor has been demon-
strated in a number of studies in a variety of settings (e.g. Lamb, 2004;
Warden & Lin, 2000; Yashima, 2000). It has also been shown that in the
case of English, it is very difficult to distinguish instrumentality, that is,
the utilitarian benefits associated with the knowledge of the language,
from integrativeness (Kimura et al., 2001; Lamb, 2004). As Lamb (2004:
15) argues, ‘meeting with westerners, using pop-songs, studying and
travelling abroad, pursuing a desirable career all these aspirations are
associated with each other’.
In an attempt to answer these challenges, Dörnyei (2005) proposed the
model of the L2 Motivational Self System, which consists of three main
components: ideal L2 self, ought-to L2 self and the L2 learning
experience (see also Dörnyei, this volume). In this model integrativeness
is included in the construct of the ideal L2 self, which is one’s ideal self-
image expressing the wish to become a competent L2 speaker. The ought-
to L2 self contains ‘attributes that one believes one ought to possess (i.e.
various duties, obligations, or responsibilities) in order to avoid possible
negative outcomes’ (Dörnyei, 2005: 106). L2 learning experience covers

Method
Participants
In our research we investigated language learners from Budapest, the
capital of Hungary. Budapest is the largest city in the country, where one
fifth of the total Hungarian population resides. In many respects,
Budapest is similar to major metropolitan cities in Europe, with the
exception that in Hungary most of the population is mono-lingual:
according to the 2000 census, 92.3% of the population claimed to be
ethnic Hungarian and the proportion with Hungarian as their mother
tongue was even higher, 98.2% (Demographic Yearbook, 2004). In our
research we used criterion-sampling. As for secondary school students,
we included three schools that fell into the range of institutions with an
average quality of teaching and average student population based on the
rank order of schools in terms of the number of students admitted to
university (National Institute for Public Education, 2004). Two of the

schools were state schools, and in order to represent learners from the
private sector of education, we also selected a church-owned school. The
three schools were from different geographical locations of the city in
order to represent students from various social backgrounds. All the
students in the second and third year studying English were asked to fill
in the questionnaires. Altogether 202 learners, 80 male and 122 female,
responded to our questions in the secondary school sample. The average
age of students was 16.5 years. English is not a compulsory language in
Hungarian secondary schools, but it is the most frequently studied
language (Halász & Lannert, 2007). When enrolling in secondary school,
students can choose which foreign language they would like to study.
The level of students’ proficiency in the investigated sample was
between pre-intermediate and intermediate.
In selecting the university students, we paid attention to representing
the various fields of study one can pursue in Budapest and to including

learners both from colleges and universities (see Table 5.1). 124 college
students and 106 university students responded to our questions. The
students’ average age was 21.5 years, and 157 of them were female and
73 male. Studying foreign languages is voluntary at universities, and
students are required to pay for foreign language instruction. Most
students in the sample were preparing for one of the accredited
intermediate level proficiency exams.
Instruments
Each of the latent variables in the model was measured by several
five-point scale Likert-type questionnaire items. The questions were
adapted from two sources: a previous motivation questionnaire used by
Dörnyei and Csizér in a variety of Hungarian research projects (for an

Procedures
Gálik (2006) translated the questionnaire and piloted it by asking two
secondary school students to think aloud while filling it in. Potentially
problematic items were reworded, and the instrument was administered
to 111 secondary school students (Gálik, 2006). Following the factor and
reliability analysis of this pilot run, we omitted or reworded unreliable
items. The final version of the questionnaire was either mailed or
personally delivered to the secondary schools, universities and colleges,
where a person who agreed to take charge of the administration of the
questionnaires distributed them among teachers and collected the filled
in questionnaires. (A copy of the final version of the questionnaire is
available in Appendix A.)
Multiple-group structural equation modelling (SEM) was applied to
evaluate the relations between the various latent variables investigated in

the study, using the software AMOS 4.0. First, measurement models were
drawn up in accordance with the earlier factor analytical results reported
in Csizér and Dörnyei (2005), Dörnyei et al. (2006) and Kormos and
Csizér (2008) on similar datasets. Following this, the various latent
variables were combined into a full structural model on the basis of
theoretical considerations as well as the correlational and regression
analyses conducted in the previous phases of the research (see above).
The two models for secondary school students and university students
were compared by a multi-group procedure, that is, the two models were
fitted simultaneously in order to assess possible differences in the
structural models. To assess the overall model fit, we used indices
most often advised in the SEM literature (Byrne, 2001) and besides the
chi-square statistics and the CMIN/df (chi-square divided by the degrees
of freedom), we report additional indices: Comparative Fit Index (CFI)
(Fan et al., 1999; Hu & Bentler, 1999), the Bentler-Bonett normed fit index
(NFI), the Tucker-Lewis coefficient (TLI), the root mean square error of

approximation (RMSEA) (Browne & Cudeck, 1993; Fan et al., 1999; Hu &
Bentler, 1999) and the Parsimony-adjusted Comparative Fit Index (PCFI).
Results
The final models
As a first step, the initial model was submitted to evaluation using
maximum likelihood estimation simultaneously for both the secondary
school and university samples (Byrne, 2001). It was found that although
the hypothetical model provided acceptable joint model-data fit indices
for the two samples (e.g. CFI 0.985 and chi square/df 1.879), there
were two relations that turned out to be non-significant for both samples
(international posture0ought-to L2 self and knowledge orientation0
ought-to L2 self), and thus these paths were removed from the initial
models. In addition, there were three paths that proved to be significant
only for one of our samples (ought-to L2 self 0motivated learning
behaviour for the university student sample, and parental en-
couragement 0international posture and ought-to L2 self 0ideal L2 self
for the secondary school sample). In sum, the final model contains 11
significant relationships for secondary school students and ten for the
university student sample. Figure 5.2a and b present the schematic
representation of the final model with the standardised estimates for each
sample studied, and Table 5.2 presents various joint goodness of fit
measures.
As can be seen in Table 5.2, the chi square/df ratio is under the usually
recommended value of 2 (Byrne, 1989). Nevertheless, as we pointed out
earlier, it is advisable to rely on more than one fit index, therefore, we
also examined alternative fit indices. These all indicate a very good fit for
the joint models, and thus we can conclude that the models in Figure 5.2a

that in the Hungarian setting the students’ views about the global
significance of English do not act as an extrinsic motivating factor, but are
internalised motives that are very strongly related to the students’ L2
self-concept. The finding that knowledge orientation contributes posi-
tively to attitudes related to international English shows that for
Hungarian learners, English serves as an important tool for gaining
knowledge about the world around them via the information channels
provided by globalised mass media such as the Internet.
Regarding the ought-to L2 self, the model supports our initial
hypothesis that parental influence would positively contribute to the
formation of this type of self-concept for both age groups. Our model
indicates that even for young adults the relationship between parental
encouragement and ought-to L2 self is very strong. This shows that in the
investigated setting, the ought-to L2 self is entirely socially constructed,
that is, students’ views of what attributes they should possess to meet the
expectations of their environment are formed by the attitudes of their
immediate learning environment. Higgins’s (1987) self-discrepancy
theory also indicates that one’s ought-to self is primarily shaped by
significant others, and in the case of teenagers and young adults, the
environmental influences concerning language learning in a Hungarian
setting primarily originate from the students’ parents. From interviews
we conducted with Hungarian language learners aged 13 and 14
(Kormos & Csizér, 2007), it became apparent that language learners
receive a great amount of encouragement and if possible, also actual help
from their families. Our interviewees reported that parents, regardless of
whether they speak foreign languages or not, consider it highly
important that their children successfully acquire English. As the model
reveals, parental encouragement has a number of direct and indirect

Conclusion
The research we reported in this Chapter investigated the effects of the
ideal and ought-to L2 selves on Hungarian foreign language learners’
motivated learning behaviour by means of structural equation model-
ling. The two groups we compared represented secondary school
students and non-language major university students in a primarily
monolingual context, where language learning is usually confined to
classroom settings. Our models indicated that both in the case of
secondary school and university students, motivated learning behaviour
was partly determined by the ideal L2 self, that is, the extent to which
students could imagine themselves as competent language users in the
future. The other important determinant of language learning effort in
our samples was the dimension of language learning experiences, the
effect of which was found to be stronger than that of the ideal L2 self in
the case of secondary school students, while for university students the
ideal L2 self and language learning experiences played an equally
