研究成果概要

A questionnaire survey was conducted to examine the role of motivational orientations in predicting attitudes toward learning languages other than English (LOTE) and LOTE communities.  Approximately two-hundred undergraduate students completed a questionnaire survey examining integrative orientation, intrinsic motivation, introjected regulation, attitudes toward learning LOTE and attitudes toward each LOTE community. Participants studied one of the following LOTE for more than two years: German, Spanish, French, and Chinese. Regression analyses and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Positive attitudes toward LOTE communities were positively predicted by integrative orientation and intrinsic motivation. In addition, positive attitudes toward learning LOTE were positively predicted by intrinsic motivation. Findings from this investigation were presented at the 18th Hawaii International Conference on Education.
