The paper examines a variety of affective-motivational characteristics of two talented foreign language learners. The purpose of the case study is to present an affective-motivational profile of a gifted L2 English teenage student. The EPI (Emotions Profile Index) test for testing personality and the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory test for testing motivation were used as instruments. The study has revealed that two different profiles of gifted students can be distinguished: artistic and scientific. As far as their motivation is concerned, the results have shown that gifted students can be both intrinsically and extrinsically oriented. The conclusion is that different emotional and motivational characteristics of talented students need to be taken into account in order to create an effective curriculum. Further investigation in the field is required, so as to confirm these results.
