Editorial Motivation

Abstract

We have dedicated this first issue to the topic of motivation, as it has occupied our minds in many different ways over the past year. Motivation is generally seen as an important factor influencing (successful) learning. However, in the broad field of motivation research, we have so far found only a few studies on the learning and teaching of Slavic languages. With the first issue of DiSlaw, we intend to introduce the discourse on motivational issues into the Slavic languages community.
