About this title

Synopsis

This book is a research into the linguistic motivation of five undergraduate students from the Gaza Strip. It reports on their motivation to learn English in such a highly particularised context. Other intersecting themes are involved such as: power, identity construction, and the status of English as a global language. Results have revealed interesting insights into the types of motivational domains that have emerged from the testimonies of those young people.
