动机行为在二语自我与英语读写技能之间的中介效应

The mediating effects of motivated behavior on L2 Self and English reading and writing skills

本研究基于二语动机自我系统理论,通过调查问卷和结构方程模型考察分析动机行为在二语自我和英语读写技能之间的中介效应。研究发现:二语理想自我对阅读技能具有显著的预测作用,动机行为在二语理想自我与阅读技能之间具有部分中介效应;二语学习体验对写作技能具有显著的预测作用,动机行为在二语学习体验与写作技能之间具有部分中介效应;二语应然自我对读写技能的预测作用不显著,动机行为在二者之间无中介效应。研究结果可为英语读写技能教学提供参考。

Within the theoretical framework of L2 Motivational Self System and by questionnaires and SEM, this study examined the mediating effects of motivated behavior on L2 Self and English reading and writing skills. The results show that Ideal L2 Self exerted a significant effect on reading skills, and motivated behavior partially mediated the effect of Ideal L2 Self on reading skills ; L2 Learning Experience had a significant effect on writing skills, and mo- tivated behavior partially mediated the effect of L2 Learning Experience on writing skills ; Ought-to L2 Self exerted no significant effect on reading and writing skills, and thus no mediating effect existed. These resuhs may contribute to the teaching and learning of English reading and writing skills.
