摘要

动机是外语习得的最重要决定因素之一，性别是其中的一个关键因素。这项定量研究的重点是沙特阿拉伯的性别、动机和英语学习。2021年3月，东部省两所公立中学使用了动机和态度问卷（MAQ）的修订版。数据收集自169名学生（年龄16-18岁）。最终样本框架（N=100）包括50名男性和50名女性的配额样本。描述性分析证实，学习英语的总体动机相当高（女性M=4.06；男性M=3.79）。外在动机和工具性动机总体上占主导地位，女性受访者的内在动机和综合动机最高。性别差异在p<.005时不显著（Asymp.Sig=.772）。建议包括（a）研究以解决矛盾的结果（动机水平/类型和性别影响）和（b）态度的中介效应，以及（c）集中努力确保EFL教育中的内在动机。

Does Gender Matter? Motivation and Learning EFL: A Saudi Case Study

Motivation is one of the most determining factors for the acquisition of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) with gender a key factor. This quantitative research focuses on gender, motivation, and EFL learning in Saudi Arabia. An adapted version of the Motivation and Attitude Questionnaire (MAQ) was used in March 2021 at two Eastern Province public secondary schools. Data were collected from 169 students (aged 16–18). The final sample frame (N=100) comprised a quota sample of 50 males and 50 females. Descriptive analytics affirmed that overall motivation to learn EFL was quite high (female M = 4.06; male M = 3.79). Extrinsic and instrumental motivation prevailed overall with intrinsic and integrative motivation highest for female respondents. Gendered differences were not significant at p< .005 (Asymp. Sig. = .772). Recommendations include (a) research to address contradictory results (level/type of motivation and gender influence) and (b) the mediating effect of attitude and (c) focused efforts to ensure intrinsic motivation in EFL education.

期刊介绍： The aim of this international refereed journal is to promote original research into cross-language and cross-cultural studies in general, and Arabic-English contrastive and comparative studies in particular. Within this framework, the journal welcomes contributions to such areas of interest as comparative literature, contrastive textology, contrastive linguistics, lexicology, stylistics, and translation studies. The journal is also interested in theoretical and practical research on both English and Arabic as well as in foreign language education in the Arab world. Reviews of important, up-to- date, relevant publications in English and Arabic are also welcome. In addition to articles and book reviews, IJAES has room for notes, discussion and relevant academic presentations and reports. These may consist of comments, statements on current issues, short reports on ongoing research, or short replies to other articles. The International Journal of Arabic-English Studies (IJAES) is the forum of debate and research for the Association of Professors of English and Translation at Arab Universities (APETAU). However, contributions from scholars involved in language, literature and translation across language communities are invited.
