Abstract:
This Paper discusses the attitudes and motivation Iranian learners have toward learning EFL at their university level. Although research of a similar nature has been done in other countries, the present study complements others by following 500 university learners and it provides another avenue for examining the language situation in Iran. To achieve this goal, Gardner’s socio-educational model and the significance of motivation as a contributing factor in second/foreign language (SL/FL) learning are taken into consideration. The questions to be addressed in this paper are: · What are the university learners’ attitudes for learning EFL?· What are the university learners’ motivations for learning EFL?· Does gender influence attitudes of Iranian learners for learning English as a foreign language?· Does gender influence motivation of Iranian learners for learning English as a foreign language?· Does a major course of the study influence attitudes of Iranian learners for learning English as a foreign language?· Does major course of the study influence motivation of Iranian learners for learning English as a foreign language? The investigation also demonstrates that Iranian learners learn English for ‘instrumental’ reasons and it concludes that ‘integrative motivation’ is the dominant motivational orientation for the Iranian learners to learn English as EFL. This study will possibly provide additional insights in better identifying the existing motivational challenges and in taking a more realistic perspective about the English Language Teaching (ELT) situation in the country. Finally, some recommendations on future directions for this research area in Iran have been highlighted.

Abstract:
The aim of the research is to identify an achievement goal as a motivational factor of learning the English language among Georgian students. In the current research, a four-factor structure of achievement goal orientation (master-approach, master-avoidance, performance-approach, performance-avoidance) and attitude toward the language acquisition were researched. The data obtained were evaluated using the Achievement Goal Questionnaire (AGQ) (2008) and Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB). The main finding of this research is that in different forms of language learning are different leading achievement goals. The results showed that different speciality learners were determined to achieve different motivational goals. Different forms of language learning cause differences between strong and weak learners and raise different goal orientations. Students, who have high scores and are successful, have strong ability of the Master Goals. Language learners, who do not have high grades and are not successful, have a high level of Performance goals. The 2x2 achievement goal framework (master-approach, master-avoidance, performance-approach, performance-avoidance) were closely connected with a positive attitude. Positive attitude defines language learning effectively and stimulates students to perform their goal perfectly. Key words: achievement motivation, achievement goal orientation, master approach, master avoidance, performance approach, performance avoidance.

Abstract:
The present study investigated the differences in attitudes and motivation between more effective and less effective learners studying at the first year of graduate university program. Based on this aim, first, the researcher developed the three-part 35-item attitude-motivation questionnaire of the present study based on the AMTB developed by Gardner (1985). Second, he selected 441 students (224 male & 217 female) studying at the first year of their graduate program at universities in East Azarbayjan province (Iran) as the participants of the study. Third, he administered the questionnaire of the study to the selected participants and asked them to complete it. Finally, he analyzed the data of the study in order to answer the mentioned research questions. The chi-square test was utilized to analyze the collected data of the study. The results of the study showed that there were significant differences between more effective and less effective learners’ attitudes and motivation. Based on the results of the study, it was argued that, the EFL syllabus designers and teachers should help the learners to become aware of their attitudes, and motivational orientations. Furthermore, they should make an effort to tailor classroom materials and classroom teaching to the EFL learners’ individual differences.

Abstract:
This article reports on the findings of a study investigating the motivation of Bulgarian undergraduates of International Relations to learn English as a second language (L2). First, we consider language learning motivation in the context of three influential theoretical developments in research on motivation. Then, we report on a small-scale survey aiming to define the motivational profile of students of International Relations through the lens of the L2 Motivational Self System. The analysis of the survey data reveals similarities with findings of previous research as regards the favourable attitude towards English language learning, the prominent role of the ideal L2 self in the motivational pattern, and some doubt over the relation between the ought-to L2 self and the intended learning effort. The study results also indicate relations between travel orientation and the ought-to L2 self, and between the two types of instrumental motivation which have not been reported in previous research. These motivation peculiarities are explained through the specifics of the surveyed group that refer to students’ aspirations and potential careers in international relations.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to (1) reexamine academic achievement motivation orientations within the context of instrumental music, and (2) examine relations among achievement motivation orientations, self-concept in instrumental music, and attitude to band in relation to teachers' ratings of performance achievement and effort, and students' grade level, gender, instrument, self-reported practice time, and selected music experience variables. Participants ( N= 300) were band students (Grades 7-12) in four school districts. Data were gathered concerning students' (a) motivation orientations (mastery, intrinsic, individual, cooperative, ego, competitive, approach success, avoid failure), self-concept, and commitment to band; (b) instrument, grade level and gender, practice time per week, and experience in private lessons, solo festival, and all-county band; and (c) performance achievement and effort as rated by their teachers. Results indicated that ratings of performance and effort were most strongly correlated with self-concept and intrinsic motivation, respectively. Practice time was most strongly correlated with intrinsic motivation. Factor analysis revealed three factors of motivation: Learning/Task Orientation, Performance/Ego Orientation, and Individual Orientation. The factors essentially replicated those found in a general academic achievement setting. Learning/Task Orientation was positively correlated with practice time, ratings of performance and effort, solo festival and private-lesson experience, and grade level. Performance/Ego Orientation was negatively correlated with grade level and solo festival ratings. Individual Orientation scores were positively correlated with ratings of performance and effort and solo festival ratings. Differences by gender and instrument group were nonsignificant.

Abstract:
Founded upon motivation, identity and self theories, this qualitative case study explored the motivational self systemand identities of Japanese EFL learners and their influence on motivation and English language learning. Data wascollected through online surveys among 22 graduate and undergraduate university students. The survey resultsindicated high motivation, international orientation and positive attitudes toward English language learning. Thethematic analysis of students’ detailed responses to the open-ended questions showed a stronger instrumentalmotivation and lack of desire to join and identify with the English communities and culture. International orientationappeared to be a better measure of motivation as opposed to integrative motivation. Moreover, the learners hadinhibitory factors operating against English learning motivation and speaking practices such as anxiety and lowlinguistic self-confidence. Resistance to new cultural identities or identity conflicts resulted from different culturalcontexts show to be an influencing factor in L2 learning. In sum, combining Gardner’s views on motivation,Norton’s conceptions of identity and Dörnyei's L2 Motivational Self System together with qualitative approachesmight render a deeper understanding of motivational barriers of Japanese EFL learners.

Abstract:
This study aimed at investigating learners&rsquo
attitudes towards English language and English speaking societies. The study also explored the historical and sociopolitical factors that might have influenced learners&rsquo
attitudes. In order to collect data, a language attitude questionnaire was designed adapting several questionnaires which were prepared with the goal of collecting information about learners&rsquo
attitudinal predispositions towards language and language learning in various countries around the world. The study sampled 219 students studying at the preparatory schools of two state and three private universities in Ankara. In addition to the quantitative data obtained from the questionnaire, qualitative data were obtained from the open ended items in the questionnaire and the interview sessions. Interview sessions were conducted at the sampled universities, and 10 students (5 male 5 female) were asked their opinions about their reasons to learn English, their opinions regarding the current status of English in Turkey and their feelings towards English and towards their native language. After the data collection procedure, inferences were made according to the data obtained from the questionnaire and interviews so as to make quantitative and qualitative analysis. While the quantitative findings of the data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics via SPSS 11.0 (Statistical Package of Social Sciences), qualitative data were analyzed through the content analysis. According to the factor analysis of the responses in the pilot and the actual study, the parallel statements were categorized into a factor. Consequently, five factors which ultimately formed five &lsquo
themes&rsquo
were obtained. The research findings were interpreted with reference to these five themes-native language loyalty, instrumental orientation, cultural interest, appreciation of intercultural contact and attitudes towards British and American people respectively. According to the research findings, Turkish learners of English at sampled universities have favorable attitudes towards the English language due to their interest in the cultural products of the English speaking societies and the instrumental value of English as a global language. On the other hand, they have developed ambivalent attitudes towards the target societies due to the intercultural contact with these societies throughout Turkish history, current sociopolitical concerns regarding the British and American state policies and finally their perceptions regarding their native language and culture. Alternative solutions at individual and institutional levels have been proposed in order to change negative attitudes into favorable ones, and prevent the generalization of stereotypes and attitudes into individual levels. In order to achieve the acquisition of favorable attitudes at individual level, intercultural contact should be promoted so that learners will have personal experiences and personal contacts rather than relying on indirect sources such as press and cultural products which might generate biased assumptions.

Abstract:
De nombreuses recherches en psychologie cognitive et en marketing ont tenté de comprendre la réaction du consommateur à une publicité contre-attitudinale. La littérature est dominée par deux courants. Le premier est focalisé sur la réaction des individus à partir des modèles sociocognitifs, tandis que le deuxième, moins développé, est concentré sur les inférences publicitaires développées par le consommateur suite à une tentative de persuasion. La majorité des travaux antérieurs ne prennent en considération qu’une infime partie du système motivationnel pour justifier la réaction des individus aux messages contre-attitudinaux. La revue de littérature met en évidence l’importance de mobiliser la théorie de l’orientation régulatrice afin de mieux cerner le traitement de l’information contre-attitudinale par le consommateur. Dans ce sens, le modèle conceptuel ainsi que les hypothèses ont été développés et testés empiriquement sur un échantillon de 190 consommateurs. Les résultats de cette démarche ont dénoté l’impact des orientations régulatrices des messages et des individus sur le traitement de l’information contre-attitudinale. La congruence entre les deux facettes de l’orientation régulatrice n’a permis d’améliorer l’efficacité de la persuasion que dans le cas des messages orientés promotion. De plus, les analyses ont permis de réaffirmer le rôle prépondérant de l’engagement affectif qui déclenche une motivation défensive et renforce la résistance du consommateur à la persuasion sur une marque concurrente. Les implications académiques et managériales ont été développées et plusieurs voies de recherche sont proposées
Many studies in cognitive psychology and marketing have tried to understand consumer reaction to counterattitudinal advertising. The literature is dominated by two streams. The first focused on the response of individuals from socio-cognitive models, while the second, less developed, focused on advertising inferences developed by the consumer following an attempt at persuasion. Most previous studies only consider a fraction of the motivational system to justify the reaction of individuals to counterattitudinal messages . The literature review highlights the importance of mobilizing the theory of regulatory focus to better understand the processing of counterattitudinal information by the consumer. In this sense, the conceptual model and hypotheses were developed and empirically tested on a sample of 190 consumers. The results of this approach have denoted the impact of regulatory focus of messages and self-regulatory focus on the processing of counterattitudinal information. Congruence between the two facets of the regulatory focus has improved the effeciency of the persuasion only in the case of promotion oriented messages. Furthermore, analysis have reaffirmed the role of affective commitment that triggers a defensive motivation and strengthens consumer resistance to persuasion on a competing brand. Academic and managerial implications were developed and several lines of research are proposed

Abstract:
Given that motivation is held to be a major affective variable influencing SLA, the present study examines L2 motivation among Palestinian students from the age of 12 to 18 years old. Considering the present situation in Palestine, the motives that drive learners to study a foreign language will certainly be affected by the context (culture and values) in which the learning takes place.

The present study involves the investigation of motivation towards learning English as a foreign language, in four different districts in the West Bank. The first research question in this thesis is an inquiry into language learning motivation and its underlying components among Palestinian learners of English in the context of Palestine. In the second research question, the investigation also looked into how these underlying constructs relate to each other and to achievement. The third research question was an inquiry into how six 'individual and context variables' impacted the motivational constructs identified. Data collection combined a structured questionnaire measuring learner attitudes towards English as well as L2 orientations and a set of semi-structured questions, which provided qualitative data. In this study the questionnaire used was adapted from Cid, Grañena and Tragant (2002), an instrument developed in the context of Catalonia with further modification based on an earlier pilot study (Musleh, 2006) conducted in Palestine.

First, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was done in order to see how items cluster together. Results revealed four constructs underlying motivation in learning English among Palestinian school children, two attitudinal factos (Motivation and Enjoyment and Awareness for Need) and two reasons for learning the English language (Instrumentality and Interaction with L2 people/culture). Then, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was run in order to confirm the constructs identified using EFA and lead to the development of a full structural model based on relationships in models specified by Tragant, Victori, and Thompson (2009) and Csizer and Dörnyei (2005). Finally, the specified model revealed of the SEM analysis (structural equation modeling) a good fit with strong positive relations between Instrumentality Interaction with L2 people/culture, InstrumentalityMotivation and Enjoyment, Motivation and Achievement, Awareness for Need Achievement, and Awareness for Need Instrumentality.

After the SEM analysis, a multivariate and univariate analysis of variance (MANOVA and ANOVA) were used to show the impact of variables such as student 'grade level', and 'academic level of the mother and father', 'district', 'type of school', and 'gender' on the motivational constructs proposed. Results revealed four significant differences: between 'grade level x 'gender and the father's x the mother's academic levels with Interaction with L2 people culturee, between 'district and Motivation and enjoyment, and 'type of school x 'father's academic level' and Instrumentality. This conforms to research findings in the field of language learning motivation which has shown that individual and demographic differences have an impact on attitudes towards learning an L2.

The findings are further reinforced by qualitative data, thus providing a richer representation of motivation for learning English and its components in the Palestinian context. In comparing this study to the study carried out by Tragant (2006) and Tragant, Victori, and Thompson (2009) results demonstrate that motivation and attitudes in learning the English language differs among students from Palestine and from Catalonia, due to the different roles the language plays in each context. Thus, confirming the proposition that context and culture greatly impact language learning attitudes and reasons for learning the English language.

KEYWORDS: Applied Linguistics, Motivation, Foreign language learning
Dado que la motivación es una variable afectiva que influencia la adquisición de una segunda lengua, este estudio analiza la motivación entre estudiantes palestinos (12-18 años). Si tenemos en consideración la situación actual en Palestina, los motivos que llevan a los estudiantes a estudiar una lengua extranjera seguro que se ven afectados por el contexto (cultura y valores) de aprendizaje.
El estudio se centra en la investigación de la motivación hacia el inglés como lengua extranjera en cuatro distritos del West Bank. La primera pregunta de investigación de esta tesis doctoral se centra en el estudio de los componentes de la motivación en estudiantes palestinos de inglés en el contexto de Palestina. En la segunda pregunta de investigación se analizan cómo estos componentes se relacionan entre sí y con un componente lingüístico. En la tercera pregunta de investigación se estudia el efecto de seis variables individuales y de contexto en los componentes motivacionales identificados. En la recogida de datos se utilizó un cuestionario estructurado para medir las actitudes y orientaciones del estudiante de inglés, complementado con una serie de preguntas semiestructuradas, las cuales proporcionan datos cualitativos. El cuestionario se adaptó de Cid, Grañena y Tragant (2002), desarrolado en el contexto de Cataluña, con algunas modificaciones basadas en un estudio piloto (Musleh, 2006), realizado en Palestina.

En primer lugar, se sealizó un análisis factorial exploratorio para examinar la distribución de los ítems en factores. Los resultados mostraron cuatro constructos en el contexto de aprendizaje del inglés en las escuelas palestinas, dos factores actitudinales (Motivación y placer y Consciencia de necesidad) y dos motivos para el aprendizaje del inglés (Orientación instrumental y Orientación interactiva). En segundo lugar, se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatoria para reafirmar los factores identificados y desarrollar un modelo estructural basado en los modelos especificados en Tragant, Victori, y Thompson (2009) y Csizer y Dörnyei (2005). Finalmente se especificó un modelo y se obtuvieron medidas adecuadas en el análisis de ecuación estructural realizado. El modelo muestra relaciones positivas entre la orientación instrumental y la interactiva, la orientación instrumental y motivación y placer, y motivación y placer y el componente lingüístico.
Posteriormente al análisis de ecuación estructural, se realizó un análisis de varianza multivariado y univariado (MANOVA y ANOVA) para estudiar el impacto de las variables 'curso', 'nivel académico' de la madre y el padre, 'distrito', 'tipo de escuela', y 'género' en los factores motivacionales del modelo propuesto. Los resultados mostraron cuatros diferencias significativas: entre 'curso x 'género' y el nivel académico' del padre x la madre con la Ontientación interactiva, entre 'distrito' y Motivación y placer, y entre 'tipo de escuela x 'nivel académico' del padre y Orientación intrumental. Estos resultados confirman que las diferencias individuales y demográficas son variables influyentes en las actitudes hacia el aprendizaje de una segunda lengua. Los resultados obtenidos del análisis cualitativo complementan los resultados cuantitativos aportando una representación más rica de algunos aspectos sobre la motivación en el aprendizaje del inglés en Palestina. Al comparar este estudio con los resultados obtenidos en Tragant (2006) y Tragant, et al. (2009) se demuestra que la motivación y las actitudes en el aprendizaje del inglés tienen características distintivas en Palestina y Cataluña, debido al papel diferenciado que esta lengua juega en ambos contextos. Así pues, se confirma la proposición según la cual el contexto y los aspectos culturales juegan un papel importantísimo en las actitudes y las orientaciones hacia el aprendizaje del inglés.

In immersion education, or CLIL, subject content is taught through a second language as a means of enhancing target language competence. In this study, language proficiency was measured in terms of the ratio of low frequency vocabulary (LFV) and the ratio of motivated tense shift (MTSh) in the learners’ free written production in English. An additional aim was to see whether the results were related to the students’ motivation as reported in a questionnaire.

This longitudinal study was based on three sets of narratives, written by 86 students, half of them enrolled at the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB) where English is the medium of instruction, and the other half at national programmes (NP), where English is studied as a foreign language. At the outset, the IB and NP groups had similar results on a general diagnostic test, which was the basis for the formation of three subgroups: I, II and III, with above average, average and below average scores respectively. Mean LFV and MTSh ratios as well as different kinds of motivation were compared, both overall and in the subgroups.

The IB students overall, and those in subgroup III in particular, showed the best results. As to the overall results, the IB students used significantly higher mean ratios of LFV and MTSh than the NP students in the final set of compositions. There were also a number of motivational factors that were stronger in the IB students.

As to the subgroups, the most interesting results were found in subgroups I and III. While the IB students in subgroup I had high mean ratios already in the first composition, and retained them over time, their use of MTSh tended to grow subtler. The NP students had lower mean results initially, and while their mean MTSh ratio increased and ended up on a level similar to that of the IB students, their mean LFV ratio remained low.

In subgroup III the results of the IB and NP students diverged over time. While the IB students progressed as reflected in their mean LFV and MTSh ratios, the NP students tended to regress. The difference in mean LFV ratios was statistically significant. The IB students were also better motivated than their NP peers. In all, this study suggests that immersion education has positive target language effects, especially on less proficient but motivated students.

Abstract:
An essay is rooted in the exploration of broader complex context of the phenomenon of phys-ical motion and sportive activities in contemporary sedentary society. It is at that time the topical problem of pointed parenting styles that is freshen and enliven in the context of edu-cational support aiming to active life orientation, including regular sportive activities. The spe-cific accents and educational methods of parenting are playing crucial role in this respect at the level of authoritative, authoritarian, liberal and neglecting styles (Sekot, 2019). Parenting styles prefiguring motivation of children to regular sportive activities and responsible attitude to life. And such process is going under way of socialization factors and impacts, bringing up to date the sociological links and context of mutual relation to motivation of children and youth to sport also in the context of organizational sportive activities out of the family. Now-adays we face forming socially and culturally determined relation child – parents – trainer (coach). Like this relation yields in the context of the climate of consumerist postmodern soci-ety adoring top elite athletes. Such cultural milieu forms potential conflicts of interests of mo-tivation, experience and pointing separate participants of such „triangle“. Given situation aim our effort to the crucial topic of parental responsibility as well as to growing educational and socialization importance of trainers and coaches. During the synergic process are pervaded practical aspects of the importance of age and motivation; but parental role is in this respect utterly essential and indispensable. Parental role is growing when parents play modelling role by way of mutual sportive activities with children. Thus, as it is in the essay substantiate with relevant research pieces of information and empirical data on parental role in motivation of children to regular physical activity and sport.

Abstract:
The data of an experimental study of the features of aggressive behavior in teenage drug addicts, as well as the possibility of controlling and self-regulation of aggressive manifestations in this category of individuals are presented. The growth of aggressive trends in adolescence reflects one of the most acute social problems of modern societies, where drug addiction, alcoholism, and juvenile delinquency have risen sharply in recent years. To study the features of aggressive behavior of teenage drug addicts, we used a battery of valid methods and methods aimed at assessing the specifics of aggressive manifestations, personal, motivational, strong-willed and other features of teenage drug addicts. The article shows that, indeed, the aggressive behavior of teenage drug addicts has its own distinctive features, determined by the presence of accentuation or psychopathy of character, inadequate self-esteem, self-centeredness; violations of attitudes, motivation, affective sphere of personality, with irritability and increased excitability; the predominance of verbal, physical forms of aggression, suspicion; the orientation of aggression to external objects, in addition, the characteristics of the aggressive behavior of teenage drug addicts depend on a number of microsocial factors, etc. In order to increase the effectiveness of preventive and rehabilitation work with aggressive teenage drug addicts, such methods of action show effectiveness as: mandatory and primary treatment of adolescents is drug addicts, the inclusion of adolescents in this category in the anonymous grooms of drug addicts, in the system of socially recognized and socially approved activities the use of psychotherapy, methods of active psychological impact; conducting educational and preventive work with the inner circle of a teenage drug addict, etc. The article presents reasonable conclusions from a stating experiment, and offers recommendations for the prevention and correction of selfregulation of aggressive manifestations in teenage drug addicts.
