Overview

Systematic review synthesizes 26 studies on ideal L2 self and identity investment in EFL contexts, highlighting structural barriers.

Key Points

  • The ideal l2 self motivates learners, influenced by positive experiences and supportive environments.
  • Pedagogical interventions that foster identity reflection can enhance motivation, especially in underrepresented regions.
  • Socioeconomic disparities significantly limit the aspirations of marginalized learners in higher education.
  • An integrated framework connects psychological agency and structural factors in l2 motivation research.
