| Description | The article presents first results of a dissertation research project covering the motivation of Czech students to learn German as a foreign language. Important background of the research project is the present concept of foreign language teaching at the Masaryk University in Brno, at which the test persons study. The dissertation research project itself comprises two phases, of which the results of the first (qualitative) research phase are to be presented in this article. The article starts by shortly summarizing the traditional motivational L2-research. Thereafter, the own research is being described, with an emphasis on the qualitative phase analyzing the motivation of the students to learn German by dint of semi-structured interviews. The qualitative research phase yielded 1. Twelve individual motivational profiles (which are not presented in the article) 2. Motivational attributes marking the students of each faculty 3. Hypotheses, describing the motivation of the students to learn German. These hypotheses are to be tested in the subsequent quantitative phase of the research project. |
