Comparing EFL motivation and general academic motivation
McInerney, Valentina; McInerney, Dennis M.; Da Silva, Dexter E.; Dowson, Martin. - : Sydney, N.S.W, University of Western Sydney, SELF Research Centre, 2006
Abstract: English as a Foreign Language (EFL) motivation is usually studied separately from general academic motivation, that is, as a domain-specific form of motivation, as it is considered to be completely different from other academic subjects. This paper challenges this broad assumption by comparing the results of analyses of data collected from 500 female, Japanese, first-year university students on two forms of a bilingual measurement instrument, the Inventory of University Motivation, based on Maehr’s multiple goal model of Personal Investment (Maehr, 1984; Maehr & Braskamp, 1986). Results of exploratory Principal Components Analyses (PCA), Multivariate Analyses of Variance (MANOVA) and multiple regression suggest that, at least in this specific sociocultural context, EFL-specific motivation cannot be completely separated from general academic motivation because of commonalities in their factor scales and defining features of students’ motivational profiles, and because some aspects of general academic motivation can predict performance of EFL-specific measures of performance.
