Abstract

EnglishThis paper reports the results of a study on the relations among motivation, the amount of out-of-class reading, and achievement in foreign language reading among 322 English language learners in the Chinese tertiary setting. Motivation in English reading was measured by five scales representing intrinsic and extrinsic motivation components. The amount of out-of-class English reading consisted of academic and non-academic English reading. Achievement in English reading was tested by a reading section of a practice College English Test Band-4. The results showed that intrinsic motivation comprised of involvement and avoidance, and extrinsic motivation comprised of utility value, academic value, and recognition value. The path analysis, which examined the extent to which motivation and the amount of reading contributed to achievement in English reading, revealed that the amount of academic English reading was the only significant direct predictor to achievement in English reading, but intrinsic motivation indirectly contributed to achievement in English reading with the amount of academic English reading being a mediator. EnglishEste documento informa sobre un estudio sobre las relaciones entre la motivacion, la cantidad de lecturas extraescolares y los logros en lectura en idiomas extranjeros entre 322 estudiantes de ingles en un entorno terciario chino. La motivacion en la lectura en ingles se midio mediante cinco escalas que representan componentes de motivacion intrinseca y extrinseca. La cantidad de lecturas de ingles fuera de la clase consistio en lecturas academicas y no academicas de ingles. El logro en lectura en ingles fue probado por una seccion de lectura de una practica College English Test Band-4. Los resultados mostraron que la motivacion intrinseca comprendia la participacion y la evitacion, y la motivacion extrinseca comprendia el valor de utilidad, el valor academico y el valor de reconocimiento. El analisis de la trayectoria, que examino hasta que punto la motivacion y la cantidad de lectura contribuyeron al logro en la lectura en ingles, revelo que la cantidad de lectura academica en ingles fue el unico factor predictivo directo significativo para el logro en la lectura en ingles.

动机、课外阅读量与外语阅读成绩的关系。
本文报告了中国高等教育322名英语学习者的动机、课外阅读量与外语阅读成绩之间关系的研究结果。英语阅读动机由代表内在和外在动机成分的五个量表来衡量。课外英语阅读量包括学术英语阅读和非学术英语阅读。大学英语四级考试的阅读部分测试了英语阅读成绩。结果表明,内在动机包括参与和回避,外在动机包括功利价值、学术价值和认可价值。路径分析考察了阅读动机和阅读量对英语阅读成绩的贡献程度,发现学术英语阅读量是英语阅读成绩的唯一重要直接预测因素,但内在动机间接促进了英语阅读成绩,学术英语阅读量是中介因素。这篇英语论文报告了一项关于中国高等教育环境中322名英语学生的动机、课外阅读量与外语阅读成绩之间关系的研究。英语阅读的动机是通过代表内在和外在动机成分的五个量表来衡量的。课外英语阅读量包括学术和非学术英语阅读。大学英语四级考试的阅读部分对英语阅读成绩进行了测试。结果表明,内在动机包括参与和回避,外在动机包括有用价值、学术价值和认可价值。轨迹分析考察了阅读动机和阅读量对英语阅读成绩的贡献程度,揭示了英语学术阅读量是英语阅读成绩的唯一有意义的直接预测因素。然而,内在动机以英语学术阅读量为中介,间接促进了英语成绩的提高。
