Abstract

The development of L2 motivation research has a relatively long history, which has been an important topic in the Second Language Acquisition filed. Although plenty of studies have introduced the concept of L2 motivation, most of them are focused on one or two L2 motivation models and fail to give an overview of the development of L2 motivation. This paper reviews the influential and classic L2 motivation theories based on Dörnyei’s four phases of L2 motivation development including the social-psychological period, the cognitive-situated period, the process-oriented period, and the socio-dynamic period. Major findings revealed that: 1) L2 motivation research is initiated by Gardner and Lambert and has been developed; 2) mainstream psychology often has a huge impact on the L2 motivational theory; 3) Dörnyei’s process-oriented model and the exploration of DMCs still lack empirical verifications. This paper contributes to inspiring subsequent researchers to fill the gaps in current research.
