论高中学生的英语学习动机_英语论文

A Study on English Learning Motivation of Senior High School Students 

摘要

作为最重要的的学习情绪要素之一，动机对于英语学习的过程和结果意义非凡。作为一种非智力性因素，学习动机具有不稳定性，同时意味着具有兼具可塑性。因此，研究动机本身及动机与英语教学之间的关系是十分有意义的。除此之外，我们如何利用学生的学习动机来提高他们的学习效率和兴趣。 另外，动机与兴趣关系密不可分，因此老师应理解二者如何相互影响。第一章，文章以回顾动机的定义、种类、特点及组成成分开始，并为接下来的章节奠定了理论基础。同时涵盖了一些经典动机理论和外语学习动机理论。这些理论至今对英语教学影响深远并具有指导作用。例如，Gardner和Lambert的拓展动机理论，自我效能感理论和Clement 的语言自信理论和概念。第二章主要阐述了高中学生学习二语动机的现存状况。包括了问题和影响因素。 第三章是关于成都市田家炳中学高中部学生英语学习动机调查。以调查问卷和课堂观察的形式，笔者进行了数据收集和分析。最后，只有学生和老师共同明白和重视动机，我们才能在英语教育中拥有更高效和谐的互动。

ABSTRACT

As one of the most important learning emotional elements, the motivation is significant and important to both the course and the outcome of English learning. Being a nonintellectual factor, learning motivation is of instability which means it is also shapeable. So it’s meaningful to study the learning motivation itself and its connection with English teaching, moreover, how can we make the best of student’s learning motivation to improve their English learning efficiency and interest. Otherwise, the motivation has a profound relationship with the interest that English teacher should understand how the two have an influence on each other. In chapter one, it’ll start with the literature review, including the definition, type, characteristic and component of motivation, which will lay the theoretical foundation for the following Chapter. Besides, it also includes some classical theories of motivations and the motivation of foreign language learning. All of them still have a great influence and guidance on today’s English teaching. For example, Gardner and Lambert’s the extension theory of motivation; expectancy-value theories in L2 motivation and Clement’s concept of linguistic self-confidence. Chapter Two interprets the Present situations of Senior high school’s students’ motivation in L2 Learning. It concludes the problems and factors on English learning. Chapter three is about the survey from high school. In forms of the questionnaire and class observation, the author collects some data and analyze them simply. Finally, only both the English teacher and the students understand the importance of motivation and learning or teaching, can we have a more efficient and harmonious interaction in English education.
