To the prominence of motivation theory in language learning literature, attendant research has remained constrained to its cross-sectional implications for learning achievement. This study, however, examined whether exposure to foreign languages at an early age may determine children’s future motivation for learning such languages in an instructed context. A two-scale questionnaire was specifically designed to study (i) the quality and amount of such exposure in the formative years of 321 primary school pupils and (ii) its bearing on their motivational disposition. Results suggested that systematic exposure to foreign languages had a significant positive bearing on their motivational orientations. Much of this significance appeared with the educational background of the family, yet factors such as the area of residence and the quality of preschool education were equally important. In view of these results, stakeholders may invest in the exposure concept within a child-pedagogically-friendly framework (e.g., the awakening-to-languages approach) to develop motivation from the ground up.
기타언어
Malgré l'abondance d'études sur la motivation dans le domaine de l'apprentissage des langues, la recherche associée est restée limitée à ses implications transversales pour la réussite de l'apprentissage. Cette étude visait cependant à examiner si l'exposition à des langues étrangères à un âge précoce peut déterminer la motivation future des enfants à apprendre ces langues dans un contexte enseigné. Un questionnaire à deux échelles a été spécifiquement conçu pour étudier (i) la qualité et la quantité d'une telle exposition au cours des années de formation de 321 élèves du primaire et (ii) son influence sur leur disposition motivationnelle. Les résultats suggèrent que l'exposition systématique aux langues étrangères a eu une incidence positive significative sur leurs orientations motivationnelles. Une grande partie de cette importance est apparue avec le niveau d'éducation de la famille, mais des facteurs tels que le lieu de résidence et la qualité de l'éducation préscolaire étaient tout aussi importants. En référence à ces résultats, les professionnels axés sur l'éducation des langues peuvent investir dans le concept d'exposition dans un cadre pédagogique adapté aux enfants (par exemple, l'approche d'éveil aux langues) pour développer la motivation dès les premiers stades.
