This book delves into the captivating experiences of exceptionally motivated older adult language learners, examining the factors which generate and sustain motivation throughout a learner's life. The narrative approach traces the motivational dynamics embedded in lifelong language learning and considers its impact on wellbeing in later years.

Industry Reviews
We live in a rapidly aging society but, surprisingly, research has paid very little heed to third age language learners. This book is therefore a very timely contribution written in mesmerizing prose. Highly recommended for researchers interested in the evolution of self-constructs across the life span, and even for the general readership willing to learn how to remain motivated in later years while getting to know the individual factors that may influence the process of motivation.
