Rezensionen

'Nikitina offers fascinating insights into the interweaving nature of country stereotypes, motivation and language attitudes among learners of languages other than English. The applicability of the mixed methodology and findings surrounding Malaysian learners goes beyond this particular context to potentially guide researchers in wider contexts how to investigate this key field.' - John L Adamson, University of Niigata Prefecture, Japan
