고등학교 학습자들의 영어 수준에 따른탈동기화 원인 비교 연구

초록

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors of motivation and the reasons for demotivation of Korean high school students, depending on their academic achievement. Twenty seven items related to motivation factors, and thirty four items related to demotivation factors, were asked of fifty seven high school students in Kangwon province in this survey. The t-test revealed that the higher level students reported higher levels than the lower level students of motivation in instrumental orientation, integrative orientation, motivational intensity, self-confidence, ideal L2 self, and ought-to L2 self. The regression analysis between English academic achievement and motivation showed that the ideal L2 self was the most statistically significant with English ability. In addition, the result showed that reduced self-confidence, as well as the difficulty of learning English and textbooks, statistically affected students’ demotivation for English learning whereas teachers, inadequate learning environment, attitudes toward group members and community did not. Based on these findings, some suggestions for successful English education by motivating students are provided, along with the limitations of the study at the end.
