The relationship between EFL learners, L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS), andtheir intended learning efforts

 


AbstractThe researcher will be examining the relationship between EFL learners, L2 MotivationalSelf System (L2MSS), and their intended learning efforts. Motivation is a primary factor inthe learning process. It is a multifaceted and complex construct, which has been consideredthe most significant factor for the second language (L2) learning success by teachers andresearchers. Motivation provides the force to initiate learning an L2 and to sustain thelearning process. It also determines the extent of active and personal involvement in L2learning. The unmotivated students cannot develop L2 skills, who do not have enoughparticipation in their study. The study asserts that without motivation even gifted individualscannot accomplish long-term goals; whatever the curricula and whoever the teachers are. TheIdeal L2 Self represents all the characteristics that a person would like to possess, such astheir desires, wishes, and hopes related to the L2. Thus, a learner with an Ideal Self-image inmind whose L2 proficiency is high will be motivated to try to achieve high ability in the L2.The ideal self is encircling an extensive range of components, including instructiveness, idealL2 self, attitude to L2 community, and instrumentality promotion.Key Words:EFL learners, L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS), Ideal L2 Self, L2community.
