외국인 유학생들의 영어학습동기와 영어학습전략 연구

초록

The purpose of this study is to investigate English learning motivation and English learning strategies of foreign students studying at a Korean university. The study analyzed the responses collected from 183 foreign students participating in the questionnaire regarding English learning motivation and English learning strategies. The results of the study indicated that the foreign students’ English learning motivation is a little above average. Among the six constitutional factors of motivation, extrinsic motivation factor was the highest and the efficacy factor was the lowest. The overall level of the participating students’ uses of English learning strategies was similar to that of their motivation. The analyses showed that they preferred metacognitive strategies the most, and compensation strategies, cognitive strategies, social strategies, memory strategies, and affective strategies followed. There was a significant correlation between the foreign students’ English learning motivation and their English learning strategies in general. In particular, the achievement motivation, efficacy, intrinsic motivation factors in the English learning motivation were strongly correlated with cognitive, metacognitive, and compensation strategies among English learning strategy areas. This study casts some pedagogical implications for understanding foreign students to better accommodate them in Korean college education.
