The purpose of the study was to understand the relationship between college students’ culinary & beverage English learning motivation and achievement. The subjects were 23 students from a technical university in southern Taiwan. The instruments include one questionnaire about learning motivation on culinary & beverage English vocabulary and one English test called Professional Vocabulary Quotient Credential (PVQC) on culinary & beverage. The subjects accepted 40-hour culinary & beverage English vocabulary training in the study. After conducting the 50-minute PVQC test and 10-minute questionnaire on December 22, 2015, the researchers collected the data from the questionnaire and PVQC test and analyzed the data by descriptive statistics and Grey Relational Analysis. The researchers found that ‘Learning Autonomy’ had the greatest effect on some subtests of students’ English learning achievement, including ‘choose Chinese meaning from English vocabulary’, ‘choose Chinese meaning from English pronunciation’, and ‘choose English pronunciation from Chinese vocabulary.’ The researchers also found that ‘Group Learning’ had the greatest effect on one subtest of students’ English learning achievement—‘choose English pronunciation from English vocabulary.’ Moreover, the researchers found that ‘Teacher’s Evaluation’ had the greatest effect on some subtests of students’ English learning achievement, including ‘choose English vocabulary from English pronunciation’ and ‘the total points of all subtests.’ Based on the results, the researchers drew a conclusion and proposed some teaching implications for ESP instruction in the future. |
