Driven by a relatively strong global economy, a growing middle class in emerging economies, technological advances, new business models, affordable travel costs and visa facilitation, the number of international tourists has increased significantly in recent years. Regardless of inbound and outbound tourism, it is very importance that Taiwan and Japan are interacting in tourism or other industries. Under the trend of internationalization, foreign languages learning is not only a compulsory course for colleges and universities, but also have become a necessity in the workplace and leisure life. Among foreign language learning courses, Japanese is the most popular foreign language besides the required English courses. In this study, we employed a learning motivation questionnaire that had 324 valid respondents of 114 male and 210 female students. The research results revealed that college students' motivation for Japanese learning is higher in job value, intrinsic goal orientation, and control belief. It was found that there was no difference in the motivation of Japanese language learning among students of different educational systems and gender by statistical differences analysis. However, students who had no learning Japanese experience in high school had higher work value and motivational factors for successful learning. Students who had pass the threshold of foreign language graduation had higher self-efficacy and motivational factors for success in Japanese learning. By the results of this study, researchers hope to get more attention on students' learning motivations to the educators of Japanese language. In Japanese courses, teacher should also introduce teaching in a more relaxed but practical way, introduce popular culture such as anime or pop music, Japanese literary history and fine arts, broadcast it to classmates with YOUTUBE, and summarize the key words of the briefing, which will stimulate students' willingness to learn in order to improve their learning motivation and learning effectiveness. |
