摘要

As a key predictor of learners’language achievement,motivation has long been an active research area in second language acquisition.Among assorted theories,Gardner’s perspective is one of the foundations of L2 motivation research and thus has dominated this field for a long time.Do?rnye later put forward the L2 Motivational Self System to reconceptualise Gardner’s notions.The current essay attempts to reflect on the concepts of integrative and instrumental motivational orientations discussed in both Gardner’s and Dornyei’s theoretical frameworks in order to gain a subtler understanding of the role of these two notions in L2 motivation.
