ABSTRACT

This study examined the effects of English learning motivations on English proficiency and cross-cultural attitudes. Tourism majors in four universities in metropolitan areas participated in the study (N=357). The study result showed that tourism students study English with three major kinds of motivation in mind; namely, integrative motivation, intrinsic motivation and instrumental motivation. Integrative and intrinsic motivations were found to have positive influences on cross-cultural attitudes, while only the intrinsic motivation has an influence on the English proficiency. However, instrumental motivation showed no positive effect on either proficiency or cross-cultural attitudes. Rather, instrumental motivation was found to have a negative impact on cross-cultural attitudes. Based on these findings, it is suggested there is a need to promote integrative and intrinsic motivations to increase cross-cultural attitudes and English proficiency. Some measures to promote integrative and intrinsic motivations are discussed.. Limitations of the study and further study areas are also presented.
