Abstract
Attitude and motivation is one of the psychological variables that play a role in language learning and achievement (e.g., Gardner, 1985; Gardner, Tremblay, & Masgoret, 1997; Tremblay & Gardner, 1995). This paper demonstrates how in different contexts of learning languages, attitude and motivation play a different role in child language learning. This paper begins with an overview of attitude and motivation. Then, the two empirical research of attitude and motivation conducted in different language learning contexts are discussed. Pedagogical and research implications are also provided. It is hoped that this paper will shed some light on a better understanding of altitude and motivation in child language learning, especially in a context where the language being learned has a foreign status such as learning English in Thailand.
