摘要
本文将学习动机作为影响自主性英语学习能力的一个因素,采用定量与定性相结合的方法,通过对471名非英语专业大学生进行的动机与自主能力的相关性调查,发现不同类型动机与自主学习能力之间存在不同程度的相关。结合相关理论,作者对二者之间的相关性进行了分析,提出了教师要注意激发学生不同类型的学习动机,进而提高他们的自主能力的建议。
Taking EFL motivation as one influential variable on autonomy in English learning (AEL), this study tries to probe into the re- lationship between EFL motiva- tions and AEL by conducting the Investigation into Non-English majors’ EFL Motivations and their Autonomy in English Learn- ing among 471 non-English ma- jors with quantitative and quali- tative approaches. Quantitative and qualitative analysis are con- ducted to interpret the correla- tions between motivations and AEL. Then, suggestions to culti-vate learners’ AEL by triggering their various motivations are presented. In the end, the limi- tations of this study and recom- mendations for future studies on this topic are pointed out.
