Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
The question of which motivation is more prevalent among learners has been heavily debated. This study aimed to determine the link between instrumental and integrative motivation and learners' writing performance. The participants were 75 L2 students from one of Palangka Raya's Islamic Institutes. The data were gathered via a questionnaire and writing. Normality, linearity, multicollinearity, elasticity, and autocorrelation were also calculated as assumption tests. Multiple linear regression was used in the analysis. The findings revealed that instrumental motivation (x2) contributed 70.15% to writing performance, while integrative motivation (x1) contributed 17.03%. The effective contribution was 87.00% in total. The r-square value was also 0.87. Instrumental (x1) and integrative (x2) motivations accounted for 87.00% of the variance in writing performance (y). Overall, motivation was found to significantly impact learners' writing performance (F= 244.87, p = 0.00). This indicated that learners with high instrumental and integrative motivation tend to perform well in writing. This meant that both motivation and writing performance were major predictors of learner performance. In L2 writing, instrumental motivation contributed more than integrative motivation. It was advised that lecturers provide more integrative incentives during the writing class learning process. © 2024 Malque Publishing. All rights reserved. |
