Motivating Second Language Learners with a Possible Selves Intervention Program
This intervention study helped EFL learners visualize their possible selves as successful L2 speakers. It included three classes as a control group and three EFL classes as an experimental group at a secondary school in Yemen. The three experimental classes received one ideal L2 self-visualization lesson a week for six weeks, whereas the three control classes received their regular classroom activities. Quantitative and qualitative data were coll…
The relationships among self-reported and observed first language and second language willingness to communicate and academic achievement
This longitudinal mixed methods study investigated the relationship between self-reported L1 and L2 willingness to communicate (WTC), observed (actual) L1 and L2 WTC behaviour, and academic achievement, as well as gender differences. Whereas early studies on WTC have focused on examining WTC as a trait, a few later studies have examined WTC as a state. However, none have included observations of actual WTC of the same participants in their L1 and…
Enhancing EFL Learners’ Willingness to Communicate With Visualization and Goal‐Setting Activities
Willingness to communicate ( WTC ) research has focused mostly on identifying factors that influence second language (L2) WTC in ESL contexts. This study differs by examining the effects of a 6‐week treatment aimed at enhancing WTC in a group of 206 Yemeni rural high school EFL learners. Classes were randomly assigned to a control group ( n = 102) or an experimental group ( n = 104). The researcher designed one weekly 45‐minute visualization less…
