来华留学生汉语学习动机类型分析

Motivation Types of Chinese Language Learners in China

本文用问卷调查的方法考察了来华留学生汉语学习的动机类型。问卷包括20个有关为什么学习汉语的问题,主要根据前期研究中开放式反馈编制而成。SPSS因子分析结果显示,来华留学生的汉语学习动机可以分为职业发展动机、机遇动机、内在兴趣动机、经验动机和重要他人影响动机五大类。五种动机既有内在动机,也有外在动机;既有长期动机也有短期动机。多元方差分析表明,学习者个体因素对不同动机类型有不同的影响,其中学习者母语背景、是否华裔、是否汉语及相关专业等因素对学习者动机类型影响较大。
