Yung offers a groundbreaking exploration of the dynamic interplay between motivation, private tutoring, and second language learning.

Examining the under-researched topic of shadow education in the context of applied linguistics, this book provides a fresh and insightful outlook on the unique experiences of English as a second language (L2) learners engaged in English private tutoring. By examining L2 learners' experiences from the perspective of the L2 motivational self, readers will gain valuable insights into how personal goals, identity, and aspirations drive learning processes. The book features an in-depth analysis of L2 learners' narratives, shedding light on the diverse factors that shape students' L2 motivation in learning English in cram schools. Researchers, educators, policymakers, schoolteachers and tutors alike will benefit from the understanding of how private tutoring influences the development of learners' L2 motivational selves, informing teaching strategies, policies and language learning approaches in both mainstream and shadow education settings.
