A Study on the Influencing Factors of Demotivation in Language Learning for Non-foreign Language Major Undergraduates in the Context of"Major+Foreign Language"
The cultivation of interdisciplinary international talents meets the needs of the internationalization of higher education and the"Four New"construction,but it faces the problem of insufficient language learning motivation of students.In order to explore the factors of demotivation affecting undergraduates in language learning under the background of"major+foreign language",the authors conducted a questionnaire survey of 512 undergraduates majoring in non-foreign languages,employed exploratory factor analysis to confirm 7 principal component factors.Independent sample T-test and single factor multivariate analysis of variance were used to analyze the differences in demotivation factors of different language proficiency,different learning stages and different majors.The results show that:①High proficiency students are more significantly affected by external demotivation factors,while middle and low proficiency ones are more likely to have demotivations due to self-efficacy factors.② Senior students are more likely to be affected by factors at the learning context level.③There are obvious differences in demotivation factors among students of different majors,students of science majors are more significantly affected by curriculum factors;management majors are vulnerable to teacher factors;art majors are sensitive to self-efficacy factors;engineering majors pay more attention to foreign language learning tool-type factors.Thus,this paper concludes that content and language integrated learning and personalized teaching should be carried out according to the differences of learners.
