A Psycho-Sociolinguistic Perspective in Second Language Learning: The Role of Attitude as a Dynamic Factor.

Titone, Renzo

Rassegna Italiana di Linguistica Applicata, v23 n3 p5-17 Sep-Dec 1991

An alternative approach to current epistemological views related to the psychology of second-language (L2) learning is presented. Attitude is described as a basic component of motivation for L2 learning, and theoretical considerations and research data are discussed in which L2 or diglossic/bilingual situations are involved.
