摘要

为了拓宽对英语教师工作动机的理解，本研究考察了韩国英语教师的初始工作动机和工作动机的影响因素。关于最初的职业动机，出现了四种心理构念:全球导向、工作保障、利他主义和应该自我。在这些构念中，全球取向被证明是选择英语教学职业最普遍的原因。本研究还发现了影响英语教师动机的三种因素:交际性语言教学障碍、行政支持不足和缺乏社会认可。研究表明，交际性语言教学的障碍是最大的动机障碍。

Initial Career Motives and Demotivation in Teaching English as a Foreign Language: Cases of Korean EFL Teachers

In order to broaden understanding of English as a foreign language (EFL) tea- cher motivation, this study examines Korean EFL teachers’ initial job motives and demotiva- ting factors. Four psychological constructs emerged regarding initial career motives: Global Orientation, Job Security, Altruism, and Ought-to Self. Among the constructs, global orien- tation proved to be the most popular reason for choosing an EFL teaching career. This study also showed three constructs for detrimental factors on EFL teacher motivation: Obstacles to Communicative Language Teaching, Inadequate Administrative Support, and Lack of Social Recognition. It was shown that obstacles to communicative language teaching contributed to the greatest demotivation.
