Research on the Relationship Between Learning Motivation and Neural Activity in the Learning Process of Instructional Video:A NIRS Study

As the intrinsic driving force to promote learner’s learning,learning motivation is one of the key factors that affect learning engagement and efficiency.In terms of optimizing instructional videos and strengthening learning effects,it is particularly important to understand the cognitive neural mechanism and influencing factors of the changes of learning motivation.By using the near-infrared spectrometer technology,the paper has collected the state of neural activity while learners were learning different instructional videos,and has analyzed the relationship between the learning motivation of instructional videos and the state of neural activity in the learning process from the angle of cognitive neuroscience.It is found that both the intrinsic and extrinsic learning motivation of instructional videos will affect the state of neural activity in the learning process;the learning process will also affect the intensity of learning motivation,while the preparation of fine instructional videos will also cause the transfer of learning motivation.

Study of L2 Learning Motivation Based on L2 Motivational Self System

In the framework of D6rnyei＇s L2 Motivational Self System （hereafter abbreviated as L2MSS）, this paper makes an empirical survey among learners of English in China, investigating the parameters of the three internal components of L2MSS among learners of various L2 proficiency levels. It is found that the strongest predictor among the three internal components of L2MSS contributing to the L2 Learning Motivation is closely related to learners＇ L2 proficiency levels. For lower-level L2 learners, the strongest predictor of L2 Learning Motivation is Second Language Learning Experience （hereafter abbreviated as SLLE）, while for higher-level L2 learners, the strongest predictor is their Ideal L2 Self. Furthermore, the overall picture of the parameters of the three internal components of L2MSS across various groups of L2 proficiency levels shows a regular pattern. That is, with the increase of L2 proficiency, the self dimension （Ideal 1.2 Self and Ought-to L2 Self, especially the former） plays an increasingly important role in its contribution to L2 Learning Motivation while the SLLE plays a decreasingly important role in the contribution to L2 Learning Motivation.

The Role of Societal and Contextual Factors in Second Language Learning Motivation:A Perspective from Tertiary Students in Pakistan

In recent years, SLA and L2 learning motivation have received extensive attention of researchers and teachers across the globe but the issue remains underdeveloped and there are only some small-scale studies on this subject in Pakistan. Among different factors that affect L2 learning motivation, the current study focuses on exploring differences in L2 learning motivation by college type （private vs. public） and major subject of study （Arts vs. Sciences）. Analyzing the questionnaire data from 547 first year college students, the study singles out different situation-specific factors that account for variation in ESL learning motivation. Results indicate that private college students have a higher motivation level and better achievements in ESL learning as compared to public college students. Public college students have strong instrumental motivation while private college students show preferences for an ideal L2 self. L2 motivation does not differ a great deal between students with different subjects of study but there is a big gap in the achievement of both groups. Arts majors＇ motivation depends heavily on their attitude towards English while science majors are instrumentally motivated to learn English. We also discuss some possible reasons for the differences in motivation and implications of the study for ESL teachers and learners.

A Study on the Impact of A spherical video-based virtual reality on Teaching English Writing Guided by Experiential Learning Circle Theory

English as an international language,English writing is a very important skill as an important form of language output,which is not only an important means of expressing emotions and awareness,but also reflects the ability to use language in an integrated way.In language teaching,the development of English writing skills is an important and challenging teaching task.English writing language is expressed not only at the basic level of vocabulary,grammar,and sentence structure,but also at the higher-order level of text organization,logical reasoning,and argumentation.However,in traditional English writing teaching,students usually do not have the opportunity to have an in-depth experience of the context of the topic,which leads to a lack of motivation and poor writing results.Therefore,this study developed an SVVR learning system based on spherical video-based virtual reality(SVVR)technology and conducted a quasi-experiment in a university English major classroom.The results of the study showed that the SVVR-supported approach to English writing could improve students'writing performance,enrich writing content,and increase learning motivation.

Discussion on Using Classroom Teaching in Satisfying Students’Emotional Needs and Stimulating Their Interest in Learning

The English Curriculum Standards particularly emphasize that“we should pay attention to the emotions of each student,cultivate their interest in learning English,help them build a sense of achievement and self-confidence in learning,and enable them to develop comprehensive language-using capabilities,improve humanistic qualities,enhance practical skills,and cultivate a spirit of innovation in the learning process.”The foreign language learning process is an information-processing process in which both subjective and objective factors play a great influence.Subjective factors are factors related to the quality of the informant himself,such as cognitive factors,affective factors,and age influence,among which the influence and role of affective factors on foreign language information cannot be ignored.In the teaching process,it is required that teachers use the knowledge of pedagogical psychology for the in-depth understanding of the students and their psychological and emotional needs,and attempt to satisfy them,so that they can have positive emotions and feelings.
