Blog Session 6: Options 1 or 2

For this post, you have two options to choose from, in my case I've decided to opt for number 2, an expert on my field who I admire.
When I was doing my Master's degree, my main focus was on MOTIVATION, especially how to motivate students in the English class and how teachers can be motivated by their students as well, and one expert on this area is Zoltán Dörnyei. He was born in Hungary in 1960, he started to study at the School of English and American Studies at Eötvös Loránd University in 1988, where he also finished his Ph.D. in psycholinguistics. Ten years later he moved to the United Kingdom where he specialized in second-language acquisition and motivation in second-language learning, and now he is a professor and author of psycholinguistics at the University of Nottingham in the UK. In 2005, he postulated a new theory to study students' motivation in the second language learning classrooms, the L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS), which I used when I wrote my thesis. He is a very intelligent man who has helped other authors in their studies and has been a teacher to many experts on the motivation area, he joined different theories in different areas of study such as psychology and language learning and he created his new theory, which has been an important step for all teachers studying motivation.
I really admire him and I hope I can meet him in the future, and who knows? maybe even work together... anyone can dream...
