Theory of Endogenous and Exogenous Motivation in L2 Migration – Ọbádélé Kambon
Winner of the University of Ghana 2016 Provost Publications Award! Abstract
Implied in theories of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) is the notion that language learning is analogous to obtaining or acquiring a possession – thus the use of the term ‘acquisition.’ While this interpretation has gone relatively unchallenged in the literature, this article introduces a new analogy whereby language learning is seen as analogous to a process of permanent or semi-permanent migration towards a new socio-linguistic L2 space. As such, a theory of endogenous and exogenous motivation is delineated, entailing a dynamic interplay between internal (primarily psychological) and external (primarily sociological) push-pull factors. Endogenous and exogenous push-pull factors, together with various other personal factors, contribute to learner decisions to migrate towards, move away from or remain inert with regard to the target language. Further, motivation is framed in the larger theoretical context of causation.
Keywords: interlanguage, endogenous, exogenous, motivation, L2, migration

Five reasons to learn the Yorùbá language of Nigeria.
Learn Yorùbá today at Abibitumi.com - Yorùbá is a widely spoken language in Nigeria and beyond. It is the native language of the Yorùbá people, who are one of the largest ethnic groups in Nigeria and also have significant populations in Benin, Togo, and other West African countries.
- Learning Yorùbá can help you communicate with a large and diverse group of people. Yorùbá is not only spoken in Nigeria, but also by communities in the Caribbean, South America, and the United States.
- Yorùbá culture is rich and vibrant, with a long history and a strong tradition of art, music, and storytelling. Learning the language can give you insight into this vibrant culture and allow you to fully appreciate its contributions to the world. This is particularly true to those initiated or considering being initiated into the Ifá/Òrìṣà tradition.
- Yorùbá is a tonal language, meaning that the pitch of a word can change its meaning. This can be a fun and challenging aspect of learning the language, and can also help improve your listening skills and attention to detail.
- Learning a new language has many cognitive benefits, including improved memory, problem-solving skills, and decision-making abilities. It can also increase your cultural awareness and understanding of different perspectives.
