 note = {P(論文), This paper is an attempt to show that, in the area of motivation and language learning, there is a gap between theory and research, on the one hand, and its practical application, on the other hand. Surveying some of the literature on motivation we find that ideas on motivation differ amongst theorists and educators in general educational psychology and in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and Foreign Language Learning (FLL). An attempt is made to show why it has been difficult to apply theory to the learning situation and why it is important to remain open-minded and aware of the learning environment when trying to apply motivational theory to particular situations. Implications for language teaching and learning in Japan are also considered.},
