Revising L2 Motivational Self System Questionnaire for Japanese learners of English 菊地, 恵太 Hamada, Yo In the last three decades, several motivational theories including the L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS) have been used to explain learners’ motivation structure. This theory consists of three key motivational constructs: the Ideal L2 Self, the Ought-to L2 Self, and the L2 Learning Experience. A decade has passed since Dörnyei advocated the L2MSS, and studies applying this theory have thrived (e.g., Csizer & Lukacs, 2010; Dörnyei , Csizér, & Németh, 2006; Kormos & Csizer 2008). Recently, You and Dörnyei (2015) published research based on Chinese learners of English (N = 10,413) and called for the study to serve as a baseline. Answering their call, in this study, the authors have revised the existing questionnaire measuring the three key constructs of L2MSS, originally used in Taguchi, Magid, and Papi (2009), and validated the instrument based on the questionnaires collected from Japanese college freshmen (N = 868). Based on the findings, the applicability of the L2 Motivational self-system in different contexts is discussed and the authors called for a revision of the model, especially the Ought-to L2 Self construct. 神奈川大学言語研究センター KANAGAWA UNIVERSITY Center for Language Studies 2023-03-31 eng departmental bulletin paper VoR http://hdl.handle.net/10487/00018428 https://kanagawa-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/15367 AN1008864X 0915-3136 神奈川大学言語研究 Kanagawa University studies in language 45 67 86 https://kanagawa-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/15367/files/03 Revising L2 Motivational Self System Questionnaire for Japanese learners of English.pdf application/pdf 494.5 kB 2023-03-27
