Learning motivation in language study generally affects learning behavior, and is closely connected to learning effects. Thus, an important issue for language teachers is how to awaken, maintain, and strengthen the learning motivation of learners. This study focused on the development of a writing motivation scale, and tested it for reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to analyze the factor dimensions of the hypothesis. Finally, the analytical results were used to observe the ideologies held by Japanese learners in Taiwan toward learning Japanese compositions.The reliability coefficient is over 0.80, which means that this scale has good reliability. Factor analysis shows that the learners have stronger intrinsic motivation than extrinsic motivation. Six factors are extracted, which are ”self-efficacy,” ”intrinsic fulfillment,” ”elevation of abilities,” ”self-expression,” ”effective usage of information,” and ”value perception.” It is found that learners are weaker in terms of self-efficacy and self-discipline. Thus, it is necessary to design classroom composition activities that conform to the level of the learners to enhance their self-confidence, thus helping them to set reasonable learning objectives to enhance their sense of accomplishment. Teachers also need to cultivate learners' ability in participating in their own learning processes, as well as responsible intentions and habits. |
