Contemporary L2 Motivation at 60: Extending the Legacy of Robert C. Gardner (AAAL)

Abstract

This symposium celebrates the legacy and continuing influence of Robert C. Gardner, the father of the L2 motivation field, at the 60th anniversary of the seminal paper by Gardner and Lambert (1959). Gardner’s contributions go beyond the one-dimensional integrative–instrumental dichotomy. A group of distinguished scholars were invited to contribute to this symposium, each addressing a dimension of Gardner’s contributions that links directly to contemporary developments in SLA theory and research. The topics come from diverse disciplinary perspectives, instantiating the extensive influence of Gardner’s work. The presentations feature issues spanning macro-level processes of intergroup relations and social harmony to micro-level processes of intra-individual development and emotional reactions. Few SLA theorists have had such far-reaching influence.

Each presentation takes Gardner’s work in a new direction. Oxford discusses the oft-neglected but pervasive issue of time perspectives, showing that Gardner’s writings contribute to the discussion of time. Clément and Rubenfeld tackle Gardner’s influence on intergroup theory with application that ultimately contribute to social harmony. Noels links Gardner’s theory to the organismic-dialectical processes within self-determination theory, showing compatibility across theoretical domains. Norton critically examines her concept of investment and its relation to Gardner’s theorizing of motivation. Further building on Gardner’s work on affect, Lantolf proposes a Vygotskian perspective on emotion called Perezhivanie. Finally, MacIntyre, Gregersen and Dewaele examine basic emotions and how they connect to attitudinal supports for language motivation. To draw it all together and open the conversation, Elaine Horwitz will be the discussant for the symposium. This inspiring collection of papers will be a unique experience for the audience, taking the field toward exciting new directions, even as we celebrate the first 60 years of Gardner’s contributions.
