Description

The new approach to motivation recently taken in language learning has had a great impact on traditional motivation research. Referring to the new approach, this study focuses on an overlooked aspect of motivation, that is, state motivation, which plays a vital role in completing different types of tasks, and moreover discusses task characteristics that have a high probability to influence learner motivation. Hence, this study examines how state motivation relates to performance on tasks with distinctive characteristics and whether it varies from task to task. Results showed that (a) state motivation was correlated differently with different types of tasks, suggesting that tasks with certain characteristics were more suitably used to measure motivation, and (b) task types did not have any effect on changing a certain degree of state motivation, implying the powerful control of trait motivation over state motivation.
