A Study on the Correlations among Academic Motivation, Anxiety, and Acculturation of Immigrant Adolescents

This study investigated the correlations among L2 academic motivation, language anxiety, and acculturation of immigrant adolescents. Gardner(1885)’s AMTB, Horwitz et el.(1986)’s FLCAS, Barry(2001)’s EAAM, and Unger et al.(2002)’s AHIMSA scale were employed to implement the surveys on 77 immigrant adolescents in a high school. To analyse the data, frequency analysis, correlation analysis, and t test were applied. The study found out that (1) the immigrant adolescents who had a tendency of integration in acculturation had higher academic motivation; (2) separation and marginalization were positively correlated with language anxiety; (3) the shorter the immigrant adolescents stayed in Korea and studied Korean language, the higher their academic motivation were; (4) the Vietnamese learners’ academic motivation was higher than the Chinese learners’ one.
