Abstract

Bu
nicel araştırmanın amacı, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi İşletme Bölümü'nde
okuyan öğrencilerin İngilizce öğrenme motivasyonlarını incelemektir.
Araştırmanın örneklemini, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi İşletme Bölümü'nde
okuyan 140 gönüllü öğrenci (F: 66, M. 74) oluşturmuştur. Araştırma, tanımlayıcı
araştırma modeli ve karşılaştırmalı ve korelasyonel ilişkisel modellere dayalı
olarak tasarlanmıştır. Kantitatif araştırma verileri, "Filipinliler için
Yabancı Dil Öğrenme Motivasyon Anketi (FLLMQ-F)" adlı anket aracılığıyla
toplanmıştır. Sonuçlar, katılımcıların genel motivasyon kaynaklarının dışsal
motivasyon (ekonomik ve kariyer amaçları) ile ilişkili olduğunu ve İngilizce
öğrenme süreci boyunca içsel motivasyonlarının fazla olmadığını göstermektedir.
Ayrıca araştırmada, gelecekteki mesleği için İngilizce dilini iş hayatında
nihai bir araç olarak gören katılımcıların özel sektörü seçtikleri görüldü.
