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


Working as an In-Service L2 Teacher in Hungary

Now, I turn to provide a critical account of the working conditions of in-service L2 teachers in Hungarian public education. My rationale behind doing so is that, in many contexts around the world, in-service L2 teachers’ motivation has been linked to their perceptions of the given environmental factors (e.g., Csizér, 2020a; Hettiarachchi, 2013; Gheralis-Roussos, 2003; Kim et al., 2014; Menyhárt, 2008; Mifsud, 2011). As such, it is reasonable to assume that the motivation of pre-service English teachers, the target population of the present inquiry, might also be influenced by matters, such as the career structure, workload, and salary of teaching professionals in Hungary.

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.
