Subclaims¶

q2 i? Descriptive statistics show instrumentality-promotion scored highest (M = 36.78, SD = 2.92) among the ten motivation sub-factors, with ideal L2 self second (M = 33.26, SD = 2.43). → Roshandel 2018

Descriptive statistics (Table 2) computed for the 210 Iranian EFL learners in response to the first research question on the profile of learners' L2 motivational self-system; no effect size or inferential test applies to this descriptive result.

"As the table indicates, InsPro receives the highest mean (M= 36.78, SD=2.92) followed by Ideal (M= 33.26, SD=2.43)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• In the L2MSS, the L2 learning experience predicts intended effort most strongly, while the ideal L2 self is weaker than the theory argues — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
• Criterion measures, attitudes towards learning English, instrumentality promotion, and ideal L2 self are the strongest predictors of L2 self-efficacy — related
• Overall L2 motivation is a significant positive predictor of L2 self-efficacy among Iranian EFL learners — related
• All ten sub-factors of the L2 motivational self-system correlate significantly and positively with L2 self-efficacy — related
• Ideal L2 self positively and significantly predicts student self-efficacy, generalizing prior qualitative findings quantitatively — related
