Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Almost since the beginnings of investigating "motivation" more than half a century ago as an important factor in SLA research (second/foreign language acquisition), it has led to a surge of research literature within the field, advancing it to one of the most influential or prominent factors for success in language learning outcomes. Despite its prominent role and ever increasing literature about the complexity of this factor, its true nature remains often elusive and underexplained. What is it this "motivation"? An all-explaining factor or empty cover term actually explaining nothing? As the descriptions are getting more complex, voices of criticism are also raised.
. This proseminar wants to tap into this issue, re-investigate the real role of "motivation" and discuss recent trends in this research and enable students to perform own research in this area.

The course participants will, ideally in small groups for the literature research and independently or in team work (max two), use a mixed methods approach and field research (qualitative + quantitative methods (statistics), online questionnaires, interviews, observation protocols).
The course is suited for students interested into research of motivation in language teaching and learning, plurilingualism/multilingualism or psychology of language learning. The course is empirical with a small own research project involved. It should render the course participants sensitive towards new methodological paradigms and try exploring new methods creatively or the ones already acquired in the course of their previous studies.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Written end term paper and 2 oral presentations.
(40% talks, 35% paper, 25% continuous discussion and participation in class including homeworks)
The course should be interactive and practical (performing literature search and experiments) with elaborating own projects (presentation of a preferred topic chosen from the topic of the seminar). This will be chosen during the first 14 days after a brain storming period in the first two sessions, thus fixed in the second/third session. Additionally there is a "presenter's day", a first series of mini presentations as result of the literature search (alone or in focus groups, but everyone has to present). Students discuss and present their findings and research results in class (second presentation) and write a final dossier (not only text-based, including graphs, data, and a graphical abstract) about their research topic.
A note on AI use: The use of AI (artificial intelligence) tools to generate texts for the PS final dossier is generally not allowed, but can be used for smaller text passages if indicated and the exact tool used is cited. Moreover AI is generally allowed as an assistive tool for literature (secondary) search, pdf literature collections and to generate graphs or statistics.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Active participation in classes (max. 2 sessions missing! =180min max missing time), 2 homeworks, 2 presentations in class (1 presenters day: presenting the idea + mini literature review; 2 main talk: presenting the results of the own field research (plus theory intro)), 1 final dossier including the results+data+graphical abstract of the own empirical field research.
