Students’ Motivational Orientations and Attitude toward English Learning: A Study in the Deep South of Thailand
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study investigates students’ L2 motivational orientations and attitude which are major components of L2 motivation. The concepts of integrative and instrumental orientations and attitude in this study were adopted and adapted from Gardner’s socio-educational model (1985). 219 M.3 (Grade 9) students in all six governmental secondary schools in the three southernmost cities in Thailand, namely Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwas participated in this study. The questionnaire with 10 items assessing the students’ integrative and instrumental orientations and attitude was the main instrument. The results indicate that the students have strong instrumental orientation together with moderately high integrative orientation and favorable attitude. All three motivational components were found significantly different between the male and female students. In regard to the difference between the students with and without experience in English speaking countries, significant difference was on integrative orientation. Last, there was no significant difference on integrative and instrumental orientations and attitude between the students with the above and below average English grade.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
