Abstract

English holds paramount significance as a global language, widely employed by diverse nations, including Cambodia, where it functions as a foreign language. Particularly in Cambodia, English has become indispensable for tertiary education. Employing a mixed methods approach, this study surveyed 183 university students, with ten subsequently participating in voluntary interviews. The findings indicate that students predominantly exhibit extrinsic motivation in their approach to English reading, with no discernible variance based on gender. The research also proposes several strategies for educators to enhance students' reading motivation, identifying the strategy of having students explain their comprehension to others as particularly efficacious. The study underscores the significance of English reading and elucidates the challenges students encounter in related activities. Ultimately, the study advocates for future investigations with larger sample sizes to further enrich scholarly insights.
柬埔寨鼓励英语阅读:茶胶省高等院校案例研究
英语作为一门全球性语言具有极其重要的意义,被包括柬埔寨在内的不同国家广泛使用,在柬埔寨,英语发挥着外语的作用。特别是在柬埔寨,英语已成为高等教育不可或缺的语言。本研究采用混合方法,对 183 名大学生进行了调查,其中 10 人随后参加了自愿访谈。研究结果表明,学生在英语阅读中主要表现出外在动机,没有明显的性别差异。研究还为教育工作者提出了几种提高学生阅读动机的策略,其中让学生向他人解释自己的理解尤其有效。研究强调了英语阅读的重要性,并阐明了学生在相关活动中遇到的挑战。最后,该研究提倡今后开展样本量更大的调查,以进一步丰富学术见解。
