This volume brings together a timely contribution from authors offering insightful perspectives on motivation from Asia. Whilst there’s a great number of studies looking at motivation with a particular regard for English learning, this new volume provides a much-needed, diverse collection examining the motivation to learn languages other than English. * Richard S. Pinner, Sophia University, Japan * The fascinating reality of life for most of the world, including those living in Asian contexts, is multilingual. The contributions to this collection present imaginative narratives and compelling data that illuminate the complex motivations that drive individuals to embrace learning diverse languages and that shape their multilingual selves. Readers and scholars who, like me, think, feel, and live in numerous languages and cultures will be captivated by the insights of this rich collection. * Phil Hiver, Florida State University, USA * Encompassing a wide range of Asian settings and target languages, this collection offers illuminating insights into motivation and multilingualism, and the interplay of agency, self, identity, and social context. The volume is a valuable addition to the expanding field of research on motivation for learning languages other than English. * Ema Ushioda, University of Warwick, UK *
