国外二语去动机的实证研究方法

On Empirical Research Methodology in L2 Learning Demotivation in Other Countries

二语去动机研究肇始于20世纪90年代初的美国教育传播学。在二语学习动机研究领域,去动机研究已成为近年来国际前沿的新热点。国外二语去动机研究具有"跨学科性、实证性和方法多样性"的特点。从已有的研究文献来看,国外已初步构建了二语去动机研究体系。从二语去动机研究内容、学科背景、研究性质、影响因素和实证研究方法等五个方面回顾了21世纪以来国外二语去动机研究的概况。希冀国内的外语去动机研究者能借鉴国外二语去动机实证研究方法,从而推动和发展我国外语去动机的深入研究。

Research on demotivation in L2 learning began in the science of educational communication in the United States in the early 1990s. Demotivation research has become a new issue in the field of L2 learning motivation studies. L2 learning demotivation research abroad is characterized by its interdisciplinary approach, empirical nature, and diversity of research meth- odology. It can be seen from the research papers and books available that the research system of L2 learning demotivation a- broad has been preliminarily constructed. From the perspectives of contents, academic background, research nature, demoti- rating factors and empirical methodology, this paper provides a general overview of foreign research into L2 learning demotiva- tion of the 21st century. It is urged that domestic studies on L2 learning motivation should be conducted via empirical methodology to shed light on the prospects for its future development in China.
