Abstract

The study examined the path relationship between language learning motivation and intercultural sensitivity that affect EFL learners’ English achievement. The participants consisted of 437 college students. Data was collected through Academic Motivation Scale, Intercultural Sensitivity Scale, and a Background Information Questionnaire and subjected to descriptive statistics, factor analysis, reliability coefficients, correlation coefficients, structural equation modeling analysis, MANOVA, and ANOVA to address research questions. The results indicated that Korean students were highly extrinsically motivated to learn EFL with only a moderate level of intercultural sensitivity. The study provided clear evidence that motivation and culture are important factors in learning L2. Students’ level of intercultural interaction was the single best predictor of their English achievement, followed by intrinsic motivation. The causal path models differed greatly across gender and academic majors. The findings in the MANOVA and ANOVA suggested that females and humanities majors were more interculturally sensitive and more motivated to learn English and that they outperformed males and science/ engineering students in English achievement. With the pedagogical implications, the findings mirrored the EFL context of higher education and the job force environment in Korea.
