Motivation is one of the major forces in language learning. Teachers’ support, or even more the way students perceive this support is an important factor for increasing Self-Determined motivation and fulfillment of their three basic psychological needs: autonomy, competence and relatedness. Local (LTEs) and foreign teachers of English (FTEs) in Japan are commonly generalized and categorized into two separate groups, and perceived quite differently in the classroom. The present research report reveals that foreign and local teachers’ support of the basic psychological needs is perceived less fulfilling by students of older grades. The drop in satisfaction between younger and older students is bigger for FTEs than for LTEs. Another finding shows that students of different proficiency levels regard their local teachers of English differently. High level students expressed less satisfaction with the competence need support from LTEs, and low level students found them less intrinsically motivating. |
