Pourquoi des étudiants japonais décident-ils de participer à un stage de langue et de culture, organisé par leur université, en France　? Quelles significations donnent-ils aux expériences qu'ils y font　? Pour comprendre les éléments qui structurent une expérience de mobilité académique courte entre Japon et France, l'auteure de l'ouvrage, s'engageant dans une recherche-implication, se penche sur plusieurs séries de restitutions d'expérience produites, sur prescription institutionnelle, par des étudiants-voyageurs avant, pendant ou après leur séjour en France. Elle prend le parti de développer son analyse, relevant d'une approche qualitative, autour de la nature fragmentaire des récits recueillis et d'y rechercher les traces qui dénotent, malgré la variété des supports et des formats d'écriture, la cohérence de l'ensemble. Explorant le rôle joué par ces écrits de restitution dans ce qu'elle nomme une «　situation d'expérience de mobilité　», elle met au jour l'existence d'un métarécit de l'expérience de séjour à l'étranger　: celle-ci ne se jouerait-elle pas alors plus au Japon qu'en France ?.

SLA literature tends to focus predominantly on what motivates language learners, but what demotivates them has not been widely discussed. This book, focusing exclusively on demotivation, will help readers to understand motivational issues from a different perspective. The aims of the work are threefold: to present the current developments of demotivation research in the field of SLA and bridge motivational theory/research and demotivation research; to promote the understanding of possible causes of demotivation; and to expand the focus of demotivation research through a reflection on current motivation theory/research and a discussion of methodological issues.  The research presented in this book is situated in Japanese English-teaching contexts and will serve as a foundation for anyone wishing to better understand the causes of demotivation in SLA and to explore the topic in their own contexts.
