tening) ％ (25/30) Accumulation of culture ％ (10/30) Mother tongue proficiency ％ ( 5/30) These students’ responses reveal the following information: Firstly, these students still see the four basic skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) as their main study objective. Secondly, cultural petence has already been realized by language learners, but this group is small pared to the whole. Thirdly, the importance of mother tongue petence has only been seen by a few interviewees. According to this interview, most interviewees have realized the importance of language proficiency in language learning, but the point is why only one third of the interviewees have realized the importance and necessity of cultural and municative petence since which are discussed so warmly in present language teaching world? Do they hold a negative view on it or do they just have not yet obtained the awareness consciously? The Analysis of a Questionnaire The English learning questionnaire consists of nine closedended questions (see Appendix), For instance, “you have the interest and passion in English and language learning”, and the answers falls into four types: 1. Strongly Agree (SA) 2. Agree (A) 3. Disagree (D) 4. Strongly Disagree (SD) According to the research content, the analysis of questionnaire is divided into two parts. The first five are put in Table 2 and the rest four questions are put in Table 4. 淮海工学院 二○○六届毕业论文 第 4 页 共 12 页 Data Analysis on the Questionnaire (1) This part of analysis involves data analysis on questions 15 in the questionnaire and a parison between the responds of the interviews and the questionnaire. Data Analysis on the Questionnaire (1) Table2. Results of Questions 15 in Questionnaire Questions 15 (see appendix) indicate a clear picture of students’ attitudes towards language proficiency learning, native language learning, and accumulation on culture, literature, and politics and so on. On the importance of the cultivation of reading, speaking, listening and writing in language learning, % (% SA+% A) of English majors agree and of which % strongly agree. On daily English novels reading, a total of % (% SA+% A) consider it necessary. On the necessity a good mand of native language, % (% SA+% A) of English majors agree. On the relation of native language learning and foreign language learning, % (% SA+% A) believe that these two are of equal importance. Finally, on a regularly reading of politics, economy, and culture, all (% SA+% A) the students hold a supportive attitude. Comparison between the Interviews and the Questionnaire With regards to the similarities of the contents examined, it seems necessary to have a parison between the responds of the interviews and the questionnaire.

Comparison between the Interviews and the Questionnaire Positive attitudes (SA+A) Interview (openended) Questionnaire (closeended) Foreign Language proficiency learning(reading, writing, speaking and listening) ％ ％ Accumulation of culture ％ ％ Mother tongue proficiency ％ ％ From the table above, the parison is very clear that, towards the same research content, interviewees’ responds vary when they are faced with different types of questions. The gap is especially seen on the accumulation of culture and native language proficiency. Compared with openended question in the interview, interviewees tend to hold a more supportive view on closedended questions in the questionnaire. In other word, most English major learners subjectively admit the importance of the accumulation of culture and native language proficiency, but the point is, not all of them have already obtained the awareness. However, two questions have been proposed from the parison: ① Why English majors have not obtained the cultural awareness which should be tied up with language learning? ② Is that because they subjectively lack learning motivation or objectively, they lack timely and efficiently teachers’ cultural guidance? Data Analysis on the Questionnaire (2) This part of questionnaire (table4 in next page) mainly focuses on students’ attitudes towards learning motivation as well as classroom learning. Before the analysis is taken, a brief introduction on motivation can help to have a better understanding on the analysis. 1) Integrative motivation Motivation has been identified as the learners’ orientation with regards to the goal of learning foreign language (Crookes and Schmidt. 1991). It is thought that students who are most successful in learning a target language are those who like the native language speakers, admire its culture and have a desire to bee familiar with or even bee integrated into the society in which the language is used (Falk. 1978). This form of motivation is known as integrative motivation. . 2) Instrumental Motivation In contrast to integrative motivation is the form of motivation which is known as instrumental motivation. This is generally characterized by the desire to obtain something practical from the study of foreign language (Hudson. 20xx). With。
