摘要

語言學習之成效與學生個人的學習特性有密切相關。本文之目的為探討技專學生在商用英文中之學習動機與努力程度，並研究其對於學習成效之影響及其相互間之關係。研究結果顯示：女性之學習態度明顯高於男性。學習態度與學習成效之相關性達顯著水準；學習動機與學習成效之相關性亦如此。學習態度、動機、努力程度三者間對於學習成效無明顯的交互作用。在學習成效的迴歸分析中，學習態度、動機、努力程度三個變項之聯合解釋變異量為19.5%，其中以學習動機最具預測力，學習態度次之。可知，增進技專學生商用英文學習成效之最有效方法為提高學生的學習動機。

Language acquisition has a close relationship with learners' individual characteristics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the learning motivation and effort of technical students in learning business English. How they affect learning proficiency, and how all of them correlate with each other.The results of this study are as follows. Females' learning attitudes are significantly superior to males'. There is a significant correlation between attitude and proficiency. Also, it exists between motivation and proficiency. The interaction effects among learning attitude, motivation and effort on proficiency are insignificant. The attitude, motivation and effort in combination accounts for 19.5% of the variance of proficiency. But, the predictor, ”motivation,” explains the most variance of proficiency, followed by ”attitude.” The conclusion is that the most effective method to obtain higher proficiency in business English learning is to increase students' motivation.
