From a motivational standpoint, it explores the diverse experiences and challenges they face in this educational context. Utilizing self-determination theory (SDT) as a guiding framework, the author uncovers a profound lack of the three psychological needs that underpin SDT: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. This lack, unfortunately, leads to a decline in students' initial enthusiasm for learning English language and content.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo address this issue, the author presents a series of pedagogical interventions aimed at enhancing the learning environment. These interventions are designed to foster a sense of autonomy, promote competence, and cultivate a strong sense of relatedness among students. The second half of the book showcases the remarkable effects of these interventions on the fulfillment of the three psychological needs, particularly perceived relatedness and autonomy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, the author emphasizes the critical importance of actively listening to the voices of Japanese students and creating a supportive community that fosters motivation and maximizes the pedagogical effectiveness of EMI. This volume serves as a valuable resource for anyone engaged in the fields of motivation, language learning, EMI research, pedagogy, and practice. It offers insightful perspectives and practical strategies that can contribute to the success of Japanese students in their English language learning endeavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 176g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 139 x 216 x 11 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367690496\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naoko Kojima","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44105038561530,"sku":"9780367690496","price":24.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1665190918304_book.jpg?v=1665595361","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/student-motivation-in-englishmedium-instruction-empirical-studies-in-a-japanese-university-9780367690496","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
