초록/요약
Recent views on second language acquisition demonstrate an increase in concerns related to L2 motivation. This paper identifies and explores existing motivational theories and aims to investigate the role of L2 motivation specific to young EFL learners in Korea. Motivational teaching strategies and self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies used in the Korean context are analyzed in order to discover ways to target learners’ L2 motivation. Existing studies demonstrate the infrequent use of motivational teaching approaches amongst teachers in present language classrooms and the low utilization of self-regulated learning skills amongst students. Factors such as the distinct cultural norms of Korea and many more strongly influence this result. Nevertheless, SRL strategies are more effective in language acquisition amongst older students such as those in junior high compared to those in lower grade levels. Existing papers regarding the motivational construct of language learning classrooms in Korea provide insight on possible trends but further research must be conducted in order to acquire concrete results of the effectiveness of motivational teaching strategies and SRL strategies.
