Detailed explanation-1: -The academic mastery of a second/foreign language, which is called L2 achievement, is the sole objective of any language education context. Simply put, helping learners to attain higher L2 achievement is what language education contexts, including EFL contexts, are designed for.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ideal L2 self is a person’s imagined ideal future self as a second language speaker. This ideal L2 self promotes motivation by inspiring the present self to strive to become the ideal self, which promotes integrative and internalized instrumental motivation in language learning.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ideal L2 self is an image of oneself as a proficient L2 speaker. Motivation to learn an L2 will be the result of efforts to reduce the disparity between one’s actual and ideal self. Ought-to L2 self is comprised of beliefs a person has about what is expected of us and avoidance of negative outcomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Having goals and expectations leads to increased motivation, which in turn leads to a higher level of language competence. We as teachers should encourage students to have specific short-term goals such as communicating with English speakers or reading books in English.
