摘要
采用李克特式问卷对1017名经分层抽样选取的研究生进行英语学习动机的调查表明,研究生的英语学习动机主要呈现7种类型:内在兴趣、学习情境、个人发展、出国、交流媒介、外部要求和学习成绩。学习者个人因素与学习动机类型有一定关联。女生的内在兴趣动机高于男生;男生的出国动机普遍高于女生,而农村学生在出国动机上尤其显现了男高女低的两极分化;9-12岁开始学英语的学生在个人发展动机上的家庭背景差异较其他年龄组更大,大城市背景的最高。
This study examined Chinese graduate students' motivation types in English learning by a Likertscale questionnaire on 1017 Chinese graduate students selected through stratified sampling. Seven types of Englishlearning motivation were found:intrinsic interest, learning situation, intividual development, going abroad, communication medium, external requirement, and test score. The study also uncovered that demographic attributes were somehow associated with motivation types, e.g., female students were more intrinsically motivated than males; male students were more inclined to pursue studies abroad; those who began their English studies at the ages of 9-12, compared with other startingage groups, demonstrated more family background differences in individual development motivation, with those from big cities scoring the highest.
