Abstract

Improving the quality of a foreign language education program, whether through sound educational policy or an effectual change in classroom practices, is not easy. The key to such an endeavor could perhaps be found in paying attention to the student motivation, a factor which is indispensably vital in ensuring the success of any teaching-learning processes, including foreign language. Based on the data of a mixed-method motivation study on university students majoring in foreign language, this academic paper lays out the students' perception of various motivational factors and analyzes what they mean for the initiative to improve a foreign language teaching-learning process. The findings do not only emphasize the utmost importance of constantly and continuously improving the teacher and program quality, but also highlight which areas to focus on. Furthermore, the findings also show that integrative and instrumental motivation should equally influence a program/classroom improvement decision. Lastly, the findings revealed that more motivational aspects should be considered in the currently existing motivation model to further advance the academic theme.

Abstract

Motivation has been found to play a pivotal role for the success of foreign language learning. Students generally stay motivated if they appreciate the purposefulness of their learning process, so if they did not share the same expectations with their teachers of the process, these discrepancies might affect their motivation and disrupt their learning. This mixed-method research uses online questionnaires to examine four major topics, namely program, curriculum, teachers, and students, and employs comparative analysis to the views of the two respondent groups to investigate such discrepancies. The results show discrepancies exist among the respondents, especially in what the students expect to learn, the line of work that they desire to take, and the different factors that affect their motivation. These results signify the need to better align the students' and the teachers' expectations of foreign language learning in order to maintain the students' motivation and to improve the effectiveness of the learning process.
