Class 08: L2 Motivational Self System Writing Preparation Summary: I answered your questions and we spoke about your report and presentation about your L2 motivational self-system. In your small group, you discussed your language learning experiences, your ought-to self, and especially your ideal self in preparation for writing your paper. Homework due at Class 09: 1. Please chose two written articles or videos that complement 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 generate 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: Here is a lovely article that could be interesting for you, which is a study you learned about in Class 03 about Kay Irie Sensei's interview video.
