Sažetak
This study sets out to compare and contrast two different conceptualisations of L2 motivation (Mihaljević Djigunović's and Dornyei's) in Croatian socio-educational context and across two foreign languages (English and German). Several analyses are conducted (reliability, correlations, and multiple regression) in order to identify the interrelationships between and among constructs defined by the two theories. The results indicate that both theories and instruments developed to measure the underlying constructs can be used in empirical research in Croatian socio-educational context. The two instruments offer insight into the same underlying concept but due to their unique qualities each probably reveals certain aspects that the other one seems to withhold.
