The current study examined the relationships among motivational factors (i.e., motivation types and motivational strength, and language anxiety) in the simultaneous learning process of additional languages. A mixed-methods design was conducted with 86 multilingual learners learning both English and Turkish. The data were collected using a survey and follow-up open-ended questions about the motivational factors. There were three major findings of the study. First, the motivational factors in one language were positively correlated with the same factors in another. Second, although the learners' motivation (i.e., intrinsic, extrinsic and integrative) and motivational strength to continue their education showed no differences in both languages, their L2 anxiety towards learning additional languages was statistically different, in that learners were less anxious when learning English language than learning Turkish language. Third, multilingual learners' interest in learning other languages and willingness to integrate in the target language culture, the status quo of the target language in the global world and the level of unfamiliarity of the target language seem to play a role in the learners' beliefs of motivation, feeling in learning additional languages and intention to study languages. Overall, the study highlighted the role of multilingualism in learning English and Turkish. It also shed light on understanding L2 affective factors learning distinct L2s.

多语种学生学习其他语言的动机因素:英语和土耳其语的情况

当前的研究在其他语言的同时学习过程中检验了动机因素(即动机类型和动机强度以及语言焦虑)之间的关系。我们对86名多语言学习者进行了混合方法设计,他们学习英语和土耳其语。使用调查和有关动机因素的后续开放式问题来收集数据。该研究有三个主要发现。首先,一种语言的动机因素与另一种语言的动机因素呈正相关。其次,尽管学习者继续接受教育的动机(即内在,外在和整体性)和动机强度在两种语言中均没有差异,但从统计学上讲,他们对学习其他语言的焦虑程度是不同的,因为在学习英语时,学习者的焦虑程度要比学习土耳其语的焦虑程度低。第三,多语言学习者对学习其他语言的兴趣以及融入目标语言文化的意愿,目标语言在全球世界中的现状以及目标语言的不熟悉程度似乎在学习者的信念中起作用动机,学习其他语言的感觉以及学习语言的意愿。总体而言,该研究强调了多语种在学习英语和土耳其语中的作用。它还为了解学习不同L2的L2情感因素提供了启示。对学习其他语言的兴趣以及融入目标语言文化的意愿,目标语言在全球世界中的现状以及目标语言的不熟悉程度似乎在学习者的动机,情感观念中发挥了作用学习其他语言并打算学习语言。总体而言,该研究强调了多语种在学习英语和土耳其语中的作用。它还为了解学习不同L2的L2情感因素提供了启示。对学习其他语言的兴趣以及融入目标语言文化的意愿,目标语言在全球世界中的现状以及目标语言的不熟悉程度似乎在学习者的动机,情感观念中发挥了作用学习其他语言并打算学习语言。总体而言,该研究强调了多语种在学习英语和土耳其语中的作用。它还为了解学习不同L2的L2情感因素提供了启示。该研究强调了多种语言在英语和土耳其语学习中的作用。它还为了解学习不同L2的L2情感因素提供了启示。该研究强调了多种语言在英语和土耳其语学习中的作用。它还为了解学习不同L2的L2情感因素提供了启示。
