Abstract

Endurance is crucial to success in language learning. Along the often long road to fluency, diversions, hurdles, and setbacks can be many. When proficiency in more than one language is the aim, obstacles can easily multiply. With particular reference to the goals and identities of people who set out on the long-haul process of developing skills in more than one second language, and drawing on Zoltán Dörnyei’s recent work on L2 perseverance (Dörnyei, 2020; Dörnyei & Henry, in press), I will present and describe a multifaceted framework that seeks to explain long-term motivation and motivational persistence.
