Why do people teach German as a foreign or second language? For the money? To help others? For fun? Because they're good at it? To fulfil their potential? Because they want to? Because others want them to? Or are there other reasons behind their behaviour? In this book, practitioners of German as a foreign or second language are interviewed in depth. The self-reports, analysed using content analysis, are interpreted in the light of self-determination theory from the field of motivational psychology. The research findings pay tribute to a uniquely human characteristic.
