| Abstract | Introduction As a new framework of second language (L2) motivation, Dornyei's (2009) L2 Motivational Self System has recently attracted attention from scholars and educators in the L2 field of study.

Despite the number of studies that have reported the acceptability and applicability of this new framework, less has statistically examined how the ideal L2 self of L2 learners evolve over time.
