dc.description.other-abstractThis study aimed to investigate the way in which Thai undergraduate students in their first, second, third, and fourth years of study were motivated to study Chinese in Thailand and test a hypothesis if their motivation correlated with learning achievement. L2 motivational self-system framework with dimensions of ideal L2 self, ought-to L2 self and L2 learning experience explained that 274 students were inspired to learn Chinese due to their positive attitudes towards interacting with foreigners in Chinese fluently, using Chinese as a tool to have a good job and pursuing higher education in the future, their personal and cultural duties to obey their parents and their personal values to finish the bachelor’s degree, their friendly and helpful classmates, useful Chinese materials, interesting teaching approaches, and useful Chinese classes highly inspired them to learn Chinese. The qualitative results supported these findings. The hypothesis was disconfirmed, but the freshmen were mostly inspired to accomplish learning by what they personally and socially valued, rather than by being externally pressured from their friends, their parents, and people they respected. The sophomores studied hard as they wanted to be educated and wanted to please their parents. The juniors’ achievement was highly motivated by their innate desire and interest. However, the framework could not predict the seniors’ achievement as there was no correlation between them.en_US
