Inhibition A newborn baby has no concept of its own
self. In adolescence, the physical, emotional, and
cognitive change of the preteenager and teenager bring on mounting defensive inhibitions to protect a fragile ego.

Language ego
------Guiora(1972a) and Ehrman(1996)
An adaptive language ego enables learners to lower the inhibition that may impede success.(P.158)
‧Alcohol and Valium
The inhibitions, the defenses, that we place between ourselves and others are important factors contributing to second langue success.

Thin ego boundaries Thick ego boundaries
Earl Stevick(1976b)
spoke of language learning as involving a number of forms of “alienation”.

Risk Taking Would like to make error Learners have to be able to gamble a bit, to be willing to try out
hunches about the language and take the risk of being wrong.

Ausubel(1968, pp.368-397) a. the need for exploration b. the need for manipulation c. the need for activity d. the need for stimulation c. the need for knowledge f. the need for enbancement

3. A constructivist view of motivation
Behavioristic Cognitive Constructivist
Anticipation of reward
Desire to receive positive reinforcement
External, individual forces in control
Driven by basic human needs (exploration, manipulation, etc.)
Degree of effort expended
Internal, individual forces in control
Social context
Community
Social status
Security of group
Internal, interactive forces in control

Intrinsic motivationThose who learn for their own self-perceived needs and goals are intrinsically motivated.
Extrinsic motivationThose who pursue a goal only to receive an external reward from someone else are extrinsically motivated.
![Page 21: CHAPTER 6 PERSONALITY FACTORS Brown, H. D. (2007). Principles of language learning and teaching (5th ed.). White Plains, NY: Pearson Weil Hsu](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649ea95503460f94badaf1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Instrumental and Integrative Orientious Robert Garden
and Wallace Lamber (1972)
Instrumental
academic or career related
Integrative
socially or culturally oriented
![Page 22: CHAPTER 6 PERSONALITY FACTORS Brown, H. D. (2007). Principles of language learning and teaching (5th ed.). White Plains, NY: Pearson Weil Hsu](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649ea95503460f94badaf1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Gardner and Lambert (1972) and Spolsky(1969) found that integrativeness generally accompanied higher scores on proficiency tests in a foreign language.
Lukmani (1972) demonstrated that among Marathi-speaking Indian students learning English in India, those with instrumental orientations scored higher in tests of English proficiency.
Braj Kachru(1992,1997) English has become an international language, can be acquired very successfully for instrumental purposes alone.
![Page 23: CHAPTER 6 PERSONALITY FACTORS Brown, H. D. (2007). Principles of language learning and teaching (5th ed.). White Plains, NY: Pearson Weil Hsu](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649ea95503460f94badaf1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
They point out once again that there is no single means of learning a second language.
Most situations involve a mixture of each orientation.
![Page 24: CHAPTER 6 PERSONALITY FACTORS Brown, H. D. (2007). Principles of language learning and teaching (5th ed.). White Plains, NY: Pearson Weil Hsu](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649ea95503460f94badaf1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation
Edward Deci (1975, p.23) Intrinsic not for extrinsic reward; just for their own sake; for their
internally rewarding; feelings of competence and self-determination.
Extrinsic typical extrinsic rewards are money, prizes, grades, and
positive feedback; to avoid punishment.
![Page 25: CHAPTER 6 PERSONALITY FACTORS Brown, H. D. (2007). Principles of language learning and teaching (5th ed.). White Plains, NY: Pearson Weil Hsu](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649ea95503460f94badaf1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Which form of motivation is more powerful?
Intrinsic orientations, especially for long-term retention
Incongruity is not itself motivating, but optimal incongruity—or what Krashen (1985) called “ i + 1 ”
![Page 26: CHAPTER 6 PERSONALITY FACTORS Brown, H. D. (2007). Principles of language learning and teaching (5th ed.). White Plains, NY: Pearson Weil Hsu](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649ea95503460f94badaf1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Maslow(1970) claimed that intrinsic motivation is clearly superior to extrinsic.
Jerome Bruner (1966b)
praising the “autonomy of self-reward”
the weakness of extrinsically
![Page 27: CHAPTER 6 PERSONALITY FACTORS Brown, H. D. (2007). Principles of language learning and teaching (5th ed.). White Plains, NY: Pearson Weil Hsu](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649ea95503460f94badaf1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
It is important to distinguish the intrinsic-extrinsic construct from Gardner’s integrative-instrumental orientation.
Kathleen Bailey (1986) Motivational dichotomies
Intrinsic Extrinsic
Integrative L2 learner wishes to integrate with the L2 culture (e.g., for immigration or marriage)
Someone else wishes the L2 learner to know the L2 for integrative reasons (e.g., Japanese parents send kids to Japanese language school)
Instrumental L2 learner wishes to achieve goals utilizing L2(e.g., for a career )
External power wants L2 learner to learn L2 (e.g., corporation sends Japanese businessman to U.S. for language training)

MEASURING AFFECTIVE FACTORS First, the most important issue in measuring
affectivity is the problem of validity. A second related problem in the measure of
affective variable lies in what has been called the “self-flattery” syndrome (Oller, 1982, 1981b).
Finally, test of extroversion, anxiety, motivation, and other factors can be quite culturally ethnocentric, using concepts and references that are difficult to interpret cros-cultturally.
