This paper is a replication study of previous research, with a different student population, which uses several concepts from Self-Determination Theory (SDT) to examine the classroom motivational orientation of Korean high school EFL students. A total of 60 participants from a high school in Incheon took part in this study. These students completed the Self-Regulation Questionnaire-Academic (SRQ-A) and an SDT self-report survey consisting of 32 items, designed to measure four levels of a student's educational motivation. This paper addresses the following research questions: 1) From the standpoint of the SDT extrinsic-intrinsic continuum, what is the motivational pattern of these Korean high school students, as measured by the SRQ-A? 2) How do the results from research question 1 compare to similar studies done in Korea? 3) How do results from research question 1 compare to similar studies done in other countries? Survey results indicate that the majority of these Korean high school students were externally or extrinsically motivated to learn, with most of the participants indicating they were motivated at the identified level of external regulation. This result is not entirely consistent with other studies done in Korea, but is consistent with studies done in other countries, including Japan and the U.S. This paper concludes with a discussion of some study limitations and suggests some pedagogical implications.
