AB This research study analyses the impact of a vision-based intervention programme on themotivation of fifty-eight English-major students in the first year of their degree in ModernLanguages at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, based on Dörnyei’s(2009) L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS). A Motivational Factors Questionnaire(MFQ) and an online English language competence test were administered twice, in preandpost- implementation phases, in order to explore the effects of this intervention on theparticipants’ motivational profile towards learning English as a foreign language. The MFQcontained 50 items comprising 8 dimensions targeting ideal L2 self, ought-to L2 self, and L2learning experience, alongside a range of related motivational variables. The results obtainedconfirmed the importance of L2 learning experience as a strong predictor of intendedlearning effort in both phases, while ideal L2 self emerged in the post intervention phase.
