Motivation toward English Language Learning among Students of Different Fields of Study: A Case of Iraqi University Students
Arab World English Journal, v12 n1 p139-151 Mar 2021
This study aims at identifying motivation toward English language learning among students of different fields of study. More specifically, it tries to identify the two types of motivation (integrative/ instrumental) among those students and also the preferred activities used by them. This study is qualitative and quantitative, which uses two types of instruments: a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. In the survey, there are 150 responses collected from the participants who answered the questionnaire questions. In the interview, the researcher interviewed three participants. The results of this study show that the students of different fields of study were motivated instrumentally rather than integratively. Finally, the results also indicate that the participants identified different learning activities.
