Synopsis

This book examines the role of attitude, motivation and identity in the process of learning a minority language. It contains mixed-method empirical research which investigates how attitude, motivation and identity in adult learners of a minority language are related to their awareness of, and commitment to, different dialects and varieties of the language as learning targets. Specifically, it is concerned with the attitudes of adult learners of Irish towards acquiring various traditional (Gaeltacht) and non-traditional (second language) varieties of the language. It explores whether relationships exist between these attitudes towards varieties and learners' motivation and self-concept as second language speakers.
