Abstract

In China, secondary school students studying at the vocational stream often struggle to keep up with English language learning. This study investigates the relationship between two types of motivation – extrinsic and intrinsic – towards the English language test performance of students from a secondary vocational school in Chongqing, China. A mixed-method research design was employed via a survey and a semi-structured interview. A total of 212 second-grade students at randomly selected secondary vocational schools completed the questionnaire. A correlational analysis was performed to discover if there was a relationship between students’ extrinsic and intrinsic motivation towards their English performance. The results reveal that the intrinsic motivation was strongly correlated with the students’ English performance with r=0.216, p0.05, while the extrinsic motivation showed zero association with the students’ English performance with r=0.125, p0.05. A multiple linear regression analysis was also conducted to investigate the extent that students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation predicted their English performance. However, the findings showed that the prediction was only 4.7%. To understand more about the explanation of the findings, a total of 12 students were then interviewed voluntarily. The interview results reveal three themes revolving around the students’ cognitive, affective and social domains in their learning environment. The findings from this study would inform stakeholders to improve the existing teaching and learning models in improving students’ motivation towards English language learning, specifically in the China context.

Abstract

The post-pandemic emphasis on educational experimentation underscores STARTeCHs call for swift school reform and the transformative potential of extracurricular learning. This study investigates the impact of STARTeCH on ESL grammar test scores on ESL grammar scores using online learning modes. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, 87 Malaysian lower secondary school learners (43 males, 44 females, average age 13), selected via purposive sampling, were divided into asynchronous group (n=29), synchronous group (n=30), and conventional group (n=28). Instruments included pre- and post-tests and CAP (Cognitive, Affective, Psychomotor) questionnaires. ANOVA results indicated significant post-intervention differences among the groups F(2.84)=7.834, p=0.001), with the asynchronous group notably outperforming both synchronous and conventional groups in grammar test scores. The study further uncovered no significant differences in cognitive and affective perceptions between asynchronous and synchronous as well as conventional groups. Furthermore, the study revealed a strong preference for the asynchronous mode, particularly in enhancing psychomotor learning objectives. STARTeCH is found to be efficient in enhancing ESL grammar proficiency through tailored, flexible online learning environments with room to practice, repetition, and hands-on engagement via the asynchronous mode. The study suggests a reconsideration of traditional methods, advocating for flexible, technology-enhanced pedagogies for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers within ESL education.
