| Popis: | application/pdf Despite needing English for their professional careers, Japanese students majoring in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) experience problems with language learning motivation. Building on previous studies indicating demotivation among such students, this paper presents results from a large-scale study of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in STEM programs in technical high schools and universities. Using a questionnaire of 48 Likert-type items measuring nine motivational, psychological, and social factors, including anxiety, perceived classroom atmosphere,international friendship, and Possible L2 Selves (N = 2,253), data were fit to an existing structural equation model and MANOVA was conducted to compare the two groups. Findings indicated that the Ideal L2 Self was not as pertinent as the Ought-to L2 Self for both groups of students. While both groups had a strong sense of the value of English for careers, technical college students had a lower sense of a supportive classroom atmosphere, less interest in English-speaking cultures, and a weaker sense of an ideal self. Results demonstrated the influence of the social context both inside and outside the classroom environment, while also suggesting that improving classroom group dynamics and activities may encourage a stronger sense of supportive class structures and perceived competence. |
