Vivid mental images of oneself as a competent language speaker are increasingly seen as key in sustaining a person's motivation for learning a second language (Dörnyei & Kubanyiova, 2014). However, empirical evidence of the role of such self-images is based primarily on self-report measures such as questionnaires and interviews. Existing studies rely on participants' recall ability, and are vulnerable to frame-of-reference and social-desirability biases (Beegle, Himelein, & Ravallion, 2012; King & Bruner, 2000). The current study will, for the first time, use experimental tools to measure the role of self-images in language learning more directly and objectively. In particular, the project will investigate:1) Which experimental procedures in language-psychology research are best suited to investigate the role of self-images in language-learning motivation?2) How powerful is the motivational impact of self-images in language learning?

作为一个有能力的语言说话者，自己生动的心理形象越来越被视为维持一个人学习第二语言动机的关键（Dörnyei & Kubanyiova, 2014）。然而，这种自我形象的作用的经验证据主要是基于自我报告的措施，如问卷调查和访谈。现有的研究依赖于参与者的回忆能力，容易受到参考框架和社会期望偏差的影响（Beegle, Himelein, & Ravallion, 2012; King & Bruner, 2000）。本研究将首次使用实验工具更直接、客观地测量自我意象在语言学习中的作用。该项目将特别探讨：1)语言心理学研究中哪些实验程序最适合研究自我意象在语言学习动机中的作用？2)自我意象对语言学习的激励作用有多大？
