英語学習のモチベーションとその成果 不純な動機の方が成果が上がる
What motivates us to learn foreign languages?
English teenagers are the worst in Europe at learning a second language.
Integrative motivation
Learners who study a language with the aim of better understanding a culture, language, and society are integratively motivated.
In this case, language aptitude is the tool for building relationships and meaningful communication. Linguistic studies show that integrative motivation yields faster and more effective language learning results than other types.
Interestingly, integratively motivated learners with positive attitudes towards the target culture are better at picking up pronunciation and accent. These learners often communicate more with foreign language speakers, and are more exposed to spoken language. Also, an empathy towards those speakers can compel learners to accurately imitate speech.

Instrumental motivation
Learners who study a foreign language in order to achieve another goal are instrumentally motivated.
For many students, language learning is pursued only in school, as an academic requirement.
For university students and professionals, language learning is often motivated by career.
Language learning is a step in achieving that goal.

Instrumental motivation in itself is not problematic. However, a learner with zero cultural curiosity for the target language will likely struggle with language learning.
No matter how big the pay raise at the end of that proficiency test, the learning process will be more difficult than for those with integrative motivation.

ちなみに、僕が持っているタガログ語の本の著者の、タガログ語を学習する動機はこう書かれてありましたよ。
友人に誘われたフィリピンパブでフィリピンの魅力に開眼。以後、馴染みのフィリピーナを追いかけたあげく…
恋するフィリピーナへの思いを伝える使命感からフィリピノ語をマスター。

おー、これぞ、最強のモチベーション。
動機は不純な方が成果が上がりますねー。（笑）
