Toward an Understanding of Pre-Service English Teachers’ Motivation: The Case of Hungary


The Motivation of Pre-Service L2 Teachers

Having discussed research on L2 learning motivation and L2 teacher motivation, I now provide a critical synthesis of the reviewed literature on the motivation of pre-service English teachers. Although this topic has overlaps with the other two, the reason behind my dedicating a separate section to it is to have a clearer overview of the limitations of the given research. Since I do not know of any theoretical models targeting pre-service L2 teachers’ motivation within the field of AL, my literature review includes empirical research only. First, I discuss the results of inquiries conducted in Hungary. Then, I compare these works with research done in international contexts by summarizing their limitations in light of my literature reviews on L2 learning motivation and L2 teacher motivation.

In this monograph, the findings of a mixed-methods, multi-perspective empirical study targeting the motivation of Hungarian pre-service English teachers are presented and discussed. When it comes to the Hungarian context, the importance of the topic is indicated by issues, such as the ongoing workforce shortage in the public education sector and the latest reforming of the initial teacher education system. The present investigation sheds light on the complexity of Hungarian pre-service English teachers’ motivation, which was found to be a bipartite construct interrelated with cognitive, emotional, and social processes. It also offers insights into the motivating capacity of the undivided pre-service English teacher education program as well as the extent to which the initial teacher education system is effective with respect to its student recruitment policy. As such, this monograph might be beneficial to researchers, university instructors, mentor teachers, and educational policymakers alike.
