评估法语国家学习英语作为第二语言的动机特征。共有 304 名 10 年级和 11 年级蒙特利尔法语学生对一系列态度和动机量表进行了回答(例如,对英国加拿大人的态度、父母的鼓励以及使用英语的机会)。这些量表之间的相关性与智力指数以及法语、数学和英语成绩一起进行了因子分析。结果倾向于支持这样的概括:个人学习第二语言的动机取决于对第二语言社区的有利态度(即整合动机)。然而,虽然 Ss 继续学习英语的意图与综合动机有关,但第二语言的实际能力似乎与动机维度更密切相关,最好的描述是源自先前语言经验的自信。(法语摘要)(PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2016 APA,保留所有权利)
Assessed the motivational characteristics of Francophones learning English as a 2nd language. A total of 304 Grade 10 and 11 Montreal Francophone students responded to a battery of attitude and motivation scales (eg, attitudes toward English Canadians, parental encouragement, and opportunity to use English). The correlations among these scales were factor analyzed together with indices of intelligence, and achievement in French, mathematics, and English. Results tend to support the generalization that an individual's motivation to learn a 2nd language is dependent upon favorable attitudes toward the 2nd language community (ie, an integrative motive). However, while Ss' intentions to continue studying English were related to an integrative motive, actual competence in the 2nd language seemed to be more closely related to a dimension of motivation which is best described as self-confidence derived from prior experience with the language.(French summary)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
