Motivation and attitudes towards learning english
This study investigated the motivation and attitudes of 81 male petroleum engineering undergraduates toward learning English at Hadhramout University of Sciences and Technology in Yemen. The results found that instrumental motivation, such as using English for career purposes, received the highest scores and was the primary motivation. Students had positive attitudes toward using English in Yemeni social and educational contexts but negative attitudes toward English-speaking cultures. The researchers concluded that instrumental motivation was the main driver and integration motivation had the least impact on students' English learning. However, the study was limited by only including male students. Future studies could use standardized tests and interviews with workplace English students to further understand motivation and attitudes.
Language death
The document discusses the importance of language and the consequences when a language dies. It states that when a language dies, the divine and human aspects of life, such as thinking and feeling, are no longer reflected in that language. It also notes that many languages are endangered with small speaker populations and children no longer learning the ancestral language. The dying of languages results in the loss of knowledge, identity, and history.
