This study investigates the ability of three variables - integrative motivation, instrumental motivation, and the foreign language requirement - to predict: (1) perception on Arab people and Arab culture (2) the desire to continue studying Arabic in the future. Analysis of data from questionnaire administerd to 299 students who, as of the second semester 2009, took Arabic lessons as an liberal art course at 11 universities nationwide. A significant negative relationship was found between the need to fulfill the foreign language requirement and attitudes toward Arab culture. This means that students motivated by the need to fulfill the foreign language requirement have less positive attitudes toward Arab culture compared with those not motivated by the need. A negative relationship was found also between the need to fulfill the foreign language requirement and an intention to continue with further studies in Arabic. Meanwhile, positive relationship was found between integrative motivation and instrumental motivation, and an intention to continue with further studies in Arabic. The findings support a focus on classroom activities that enhance integrative and instrumental motivation as a means of increasing the desire to continue studying Arabic.
Abstract
This study investigates the ability of three variables - integrative motivation, instrumental motivation, and the foreign language requirement - to predict: (1) perception on Arab people and Arab culture (2) the desire to continue studying Arabic in the future. Analysis of data from questionnaire administerd to 299 students who, as of the second semester 2009, took Arabic lessons as an liberal art course at 11 universities nationwide. A significant negative relationship was found between the need to fulfill the foreign language requirement and attitudes toward Arab culture. This means that students motivated by the need to fulfill the foreign language requirement have less positive attitudes toward Arab culture compared with those not motivated by the need. A negative relationship was found also between the need to fulfill the foreign language requirement and an intention to continue with further studies in Arabic. Meanwhile, positive relationship was found between integrative motivation and instrumental motivation, and an intention to continue with further studies in Arabic.
