Self-Determined English Learning Motivation and Value System of Japanese Female College Students
Get PDFThis study was conducted in Showa Women’s University among freshmen, sophomore, and junior students from the Department of Business Design at the end of the spring semester 2018 (N＝378) and aimed at assessing the students’ levels of self-determined motivation and need satisfaction in English language classroom. The results of this study showed that there is a direct link between autonomous motivation and the students’ healthier well-being (psychological needs support). The satisfaction of the need for competence had the greatest positive effect on the students’ self-determined motivation, which suggests that probably in Japanese university settings, female business major students’ Achievement values are dominant. At the same time, sophomore students in this study demonstrated bigger frustration of their needs support in classes with English teachers, than freshmen did. Based on that, it seems appropriate to seek to design a pedagogical program that would develop values of Benevolence, Conformity, Self-direction and Stimulation, and facilitate professional motivation to learn English among Japanese female business major students.departmental bulletin pape
