The Homework is due on Tuesday at 1 p.m., the day before Class 08.

1. Please choose one written article or video that complements your research for your L2 motivational self system report that will also be useful for your final presentation. You will write about your own L2 self system based on the question generated for homework we will do for Class 10, and use all the notes you have taken to save time. And three sets of notes if you could not do the homework on Class 07:
