Classroom social climate, self-determined motivation, willingness to communicate, and achievement: A study of structural relationships in instructed second language settings
文摘
Classroom social climate predicts satisfaction of basic psychological needs. Satisfaction of psychological needs leads to stronger self-determined motivation. Self-determined motivation subsequently influences L2 WTC and achievement. Direct comparison of a competing model with reversed pathways was less meaningful. When controlling for prior L2 achievement, no variable predicts final achievement.
