摘要
本文旨在研究专门用途英语(ESP)学习的各类动机与努力程度之间的关系,以问卷形式在某大学软件学院249名学习IT英语课程的本科学生中进行了调查。结果显示,ESP学习的努力程度与内在兴趣动机、专门工具型动机、通用工具型动机及情景动机正相关,相关程度依次递减,而与外部要求动机零相关。通用工具型动机在不同努力程度组的各动机中均占据主要地位。除此之外,高努力程度组的内在兴趣动机和专门工具型动机的作用也一样凸显,而在低程度组则是外部要求动机与之相当。
This research aims to investigate the relationship between types of ESP learning motivation and learning effort. A survey was conducted among 249 undergraduate students taking IT English course in a Software School of a university. The results show that ESP learning effort is positively correlated with intrinsic motivation, instrumental motivation (ESP), instrumental motivation (EGP) and situational motivation, and that their correlation coefficients are in descending order. ESP learning effort has zero correlation with external requirement. Instrumental motivation (EGP) is the major motivation for different levels of learning efforts. And for students who make more effort, motivations that rank only second to instrumental motivation (EGP) are intrinsic motivation and instrumental motivation (ESP), while for students who make less effort, external requirement motivation is of similar importance.
