DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nEndurance is crucial to success in language learni
 ng. Along the often long road to fluency\, diversions\, hurdles\, and setb
 acks 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 sk
 ills 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 t
 o explain long-term motivation and motivational persistence.\n\nBio\n\nAla
 stair Henry is Professor of Language Education at University West\, Sweden
 \, and a member of the cross-disciplinary ‘Language Acquisition\, Multil
 ingualism and Teaching’ research platform at the University of Lund. His
  PhD (from the University of Gothenburg) focused on L3 motivation\, and he
  is the author of a number of articles and book chapters on motivation and
  multilingualism.
