Last Friday, we held our final FOLLM event of 2025 and marked the occasion with a rich discussion on the use of “Motigraph” in language motivation research. It was great to hear about Kathryn Sidaway, Junjie Li, and Ema Ushioda’s latest paper.

Gracias por invitarme a colaborar en este artículo…¡hermosa visión de los profesionales de la enseñanza del español y de su implicación en la investigación!☺️ Thank you Javier Muñoz-Basols & Elisa Gironzetti for inviting me to join you on this adventure onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Narrative Inquiry isn’t just storytelling…it’s a lens into how language learning motivation “evolves”. This new paper shows how narrative research practices may capture motivation’s dynamic, personal, and human dimensions.
