A Survey Of Self-Regulated Motivation In Speaking English Among Indonesian University Students
Abstract
Since English is now widely use in communication, speaking has become
mandatory skill to improve. There are many challenges when learning a foreign
language. Self-regulated learning is one of the strategy, and for SRL to work
ffectively, one must have a self-regulated motivation (SRM). There are not many
SRM study in EFL background, especially in speaking context. A study
onducted by Uztosun (2017) created a scale to measure Self-Regulated
Motivation in Speaking (SRMIS) for EFL learners. The purpose of the current
study is to pinpoint the variables that have the greatest impact on Indonesian
ollege students' SRMIS. To determine which factor influences students' SRMIS
the most, the study used a survey approach with 130 participants and a
questionnaire with 22 items on a 5-Likert scale to assess the four Uztosun factors
of SRMIS: task value activation, regulation of affect, regulation of peers, and
regulation of learning environment. The participants were English Language
Education Department majors from the 2018 cohort at a private university in Indonesia. According to the descriptive analysis, the two most important factors
are task value activation (4,17) and regulation of affect (3,85). The lowest scores
are for regulation of peers (3,48) and regulation of learning environment (3,36).
The results also show that individuals can inspire themselves to speak English
more fluently and that they speak the language out of their own interest.
