• This paper presents preliminary results of a quantitative/qualitative study of the fluctuations in foreign language learning motivation among Japanese learners throughout the eight years of their English study in school. Initial analyses of the quantitative data confirm the trends of previous research indicating that motivation tends to drop quickly from initially high levels at the onset of junior high school instruction, that motivation picks up again in high school in the year before university entrance examinations, and that it drops off again upon entrance to university. Initial analyses of the qualitative data suggest that teachers are an especially important determinant of motivational level at the junior high school level, and that peers and group dynamics play a greater role at later stages. An important emergent influence is the role of converging and diverging goals.
