Gregersen, Tammy; Mercer, Sarah; MacIntyre, Peter D. – Foreign Language Annals, 2021
Every person's response to adversity is unique. Whereas some come out stronger as a result of responding to a challenge, others find their fundamental assumptions about themselves and their lives severely challenged. In education, while some teachers might burn out and leave the profession precipitously, many survive the challenges and transform…

In this article we introduce Positive Psychology (PP), a relatively new subfield of psychology, and outline its development since the year 2000. We describe ways in which PP represents an exciting addition to the Second Language Acquisition (SLA) literature and the ways it is already influencing trends in education generally, thus creating…

Marton, Eniko; MacIntyre, Peter D. – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
The realisation of the linguistic rights of Deaf individuals is, to a considerable extent, dependent upon whether there are majority language speakers who acquire a sign language as an L2 and use their L2 skills. Still, the motivation of hearing persons in learning sign languages as L2s is a largely unmapped area. This study seeks to capture the…

MacIntyre, Peter D.; Wang, Lanxi – Language Teaching Research, 2021
Willingness to communicate (WTC) reflects an intersection between instructed second language acquisition and learner psychology. WTC results from the coordinated interaction among complex processes that prepare second language (L2) learners to choose to use their L2 for authentic communication. Prior research has revealed considerable complexity…

Boudreau, Carmen; MacIntyre, Peter D.; Dewaele, Jean-Marc – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2018
Emotions are a fleeting experience, sometimes lasting only moments before dissipating. Prior research in SLA has either ignored emotions, underestimated their relevance, or has studied them as a relatively stable individual difference variable. In contrast, the present study takes an idiodynamic approach to examine the rapidly changing…

MacIntyre, Peter D.; Wang, Lanxi; Khajavy, Gholam Hassan – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2020
How does a person decide whether she or he is willing to communicate? Dual-process theories have been influential in the literature on the psychology of making judgments and decisions. Dual-process theories make a distinction between cognitive processes that are fast, automatic, and unconscious (also called 'experiential' thinking) and those that…

MacIntyre, Peter D.; Vincze, Laszlo – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2017
The role of basic emotions in SLA has been underestimated in both research and pedagogy. The present article examines 10 positive emotions ("joy," "gratitude," "serenity," "interest," "hope," "pride," "amusement," "inspiration," "awe," and "love")…

MacIntyre, Peter D.; Baker, Susan C.; Sparling, Heather – Modern Language Journal, 2017
The present research examines the role of music and dance in motivating Gaelic language learning on Cape Breton Island (Canada). The Gaelic language, once thriving in this context, has declined in use but flourishes in both music and dance. This article presents the results of in-depth interviews (60-90 minutes) with 10 accomplished adult…

Yashima, Tomoko; MacIntyre, Peter D.; Ikeda, Maiko – Language Teaching Research, 2018
Recently, situated willingness to communicate (WTC) has received increasing research attention in addition to traditional quantitative studies of trait-like WTC. This article is an addition to the former but unique in two ways. First, it investigates both trait and state WTC in a classroom context and explores ways to combine the two to reach a…

MacIntyre, Peter D.; Burns, Carolyn; Jessome, Alison – Modern Language Journal, 2011
The defining feature of immersion language learning is the omnipresent pressure to communicate in the second language (L2), even as incipient skills are being acquired. This study uses the focused essay technique to investigate ambivalence about communicating among adolescent French immersion students (12-14 years of age). Students described…

MacIntyre, Peter D.; Doucette, Jesslyn – System: An International Journal of Educational Technology and Applied Linguistics, 2010
Being willing to communicate is part of becoming fluent in a second language, which often is the ultimate goal of L2 learners. Julius Kuhl's theory of action control is introduced as an expansion of the conceptual framework for the study of Willingness to Communicate. Kuhl proposed three key concepts, preoccupation, volatility, and hesitation,…

MacIntyre, Peter D.; Blackie, Rebecca A. – System: An International Journal of Educational Technology and Applied Linguistics, 2012
The present study examines the relative ability of variables from three motivational frameworks to predict four non-linguistic outcomes of language learning. The study examines Action Control Theory with its measures of (1) hesitation, (2) volatility and (3) rumination. The study also examined Pintrich's expectancy-value model that uses measures…

MacIntyre, Peter D.; Baker, Susan C.; Clement, Richard; Conrod, Sarah – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2001
Hypothesized that orientations toward language learning (L2) as well as social support would influence students willingness to communicate (WTC) in a second language. Grade 9 L2 students of French immersion participated in the study. Results showed endorsement of all five orientations (travel, job related, friendship with Francophones, personal…

MacIntyre, Peter D.; Noels, Kimberly A. – Foreign Language Annals, 1996
Used variables from social-psychological model proposing that language-learning strategy use depends on knowledge of appropriate strategies, having reason to use them, and having nothing to prevent their use, to predict frequency of use for 50 language-learning strategies. Results showed the model accounted for 60% of variance of strategy use and…
