Ema Ushioda is an applied linguist specializing in motivation and language learning. Her research focuses on second language acquisition (SLA) and learner autonomy, combining theoretical insights with practical applications for educators and researchers.[1]
Early Life and Education
[edit]Ema Ushioda was born in Ireland and pursued her education in Dublin. She completed her undergraduate degree in modern languages, which inspired her interest in the processes of language learning. Ushioda later earned a doctorate in applied linguistics, with a focus on learner motivation and autonomy.[2]
Academic Career
[edit]Ushioda is a Professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of Warwick. Her research emphasizes motivation in language learning, particularly the interplay between individual and contextual factors.[3]
She collaborated extensively with Zoltán Dörnyei to explore foreign language learning motivation. Her Person-in-Context Relational View provides a nuanced view of motivation with a focus on learners as individuals. This theory highlights how personal aspirations and external influences shape language learning motivation.[4]
Ushioda has also contributed to qualitative research methodologies, advocating for learner narratives and self-determination as critical aspects of language learning.[5]
Key Contributions
[edit]Motivation in SLA
[edit]Ushioda challenges simplified views of motivation, emphasizing its dynamic and situated nature. Her work explores how motivation interacts with external factors to influence language learning.[6]
Learner Autonomy
[edit]Ushioda's early work focused on the links between autonomy and motivation, examining how motivation and self-regulation foster effective language acquisition strategies. Her frameworks provide practical tools for educators.[7]
Mentorship and Legacy
[edit]Throughout her career, Ushioda has supervised many doctoral students, including:
- R.S. Pinner: His work on authenticity and motivation builds on Ushioda's theories.[8]
- Sal Consoli: A researcher at the University of Edinburgh, Consoli examines emotion and multilingual identities in language learning, expanding Ushioda's frameworks to emphasize emotional engagement and learner well-being in multicultural contexts.[9]
- Darío Luis Banegas: Focused on CLIL and teacher education, Banegas integrates Ushioda's motivational principles into his work.[10]
Collaboration with Zoltán Dörnyei
[edit]Ushioda and Zoltán Dörnyei co-authored influential works, such as Teaching and Researching: Motivation.[11]
