Motivation, Self-Confidence, and Group Cohesion in the Foreign Language Classroom.
Clement, Richard; And Others
Language Learning, v44 n3 p417-48 Sep 1994
This study applied social psychological constructs to examine the linguistic attitudes and motivations of 301 Hungarian high school students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Factor and correlational analyses of the results of a survey questionnaire revealed that xenophilic, sociocultural, instrumental, and media-use reasons were most strongly endorsed by the students.
