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.
期刊介绍:
PORTA LINGUARUM is an international and interuniversity journal that specialises in foreign language didactics. Its aims to publish empirical studies, critical revisions, and theoretical models that relate to the many factors that influence the FL teaching and learning:
- The social and school context: the family’s social and cultural influence as well as the student’s mother language and its influence on the L2 learning process, etc.
- The students: their personal characteristics (age, gender, personality traits, etc.) as well as their attitudes, motivation, cognitive styles, etc.
- The FL teacher: the teacher’s mental representations, attitudes, motivation, individual characteristics, teaching methods, etc.
- Learning conditions and the learning process, variables that influence the teaching and learning processes in the classroom: efficiency of teaching strategies, teaching methods and techniques, second language acquisition processes, students and teachers interaction, effect of teaching resources and materials, etc.
- Learning outcomes: evaluation of procedures as well as the evaluation of the students’ communicative competence at different academic levels, etc.
