Abstract

This study aims first to design a motivational/demotivational pattern scale (MDPAS) for English as a foreign language (EFL)students, and then proposes a model of motivation/demotivation in EFL education. Entire population participated in the study comprised 800 students majoring in EFL. MDPAS was designed and validated by applying confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Further investigations revealed that three motivational constructs ,including Demotivation /Motivating Demotivation, Perfectionist/Non perfectionist motivation,and Collective/Individual motivation could predict almost 56% of the variance in students’ grade point averages. Finally, the results were discussed in the context of second/foreign language education,and some suggestions were proposed to improve the quality of language education.
