Motivation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examined the motivation of EFL students’ as they participate in a self-activity outside of the classroom curriculum through a self evaluation. Specifically, the researcher used the medium of English language television viewing to ascertain the effects of both integrative and instrumental motivation upon L2 learning. The study participants were 23 students including graduate, undergraduate, and English language program students in the U.S. The length of residence in America ranged from less than 1 year to 11 years. The major finding of this study was that both integrative and instrumental motivations are not determined by either the amount of time watching English language television or the length of residency in America. The implication of this study is that watching television programs in English outside of the classroom curriculum does promote learners’ interest and increased either or both their integrate and instrumental motivation. The need of more evidence from replicated studies with different groups of participants is also required.
