| Popis: | Motivation is widely accepted by both teachers and researchers as an importantvariable that may affect students’ rate and success when it comes to second/foreignlanguage learning. However, a relatively small number of empirical studies exist onhow listening tasks, where learners do something with the information they haveextracted from the text, can be influenced by manipulating as well as generating theinitial tasks motivation in educational contexts. To this end, this study compared theperformance of 72 participants on post-treatment listening tasks and tasksengagement questionnaire over five treatment sessions: one group with motivationalpre-task strategies instruction and the other with no pre-task strategies instructionwhatsoever. The results from the independent samples t-test showed thatmotivational strategies instruction proved to be beneficial for improving theexperimental group students’ tasks performance and facilitated their tasksengagement as well. The information collected supplied a more informed image andadditional evidence of the probable link between the initial task motivation and tasksuccess. |
