Language learning motivation is the one of the most important factors to successful language learning. This research examined the language learning motivation of Korean language learners in an academic Korean setting, where learners had to attend numerous classes in order to earn their graduate degrees. 117 language learners responded to a survey concerning motivation orientation, expectancy, and self-evaluated skills. Factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used to explore the relationships between motivation and study effort, or their effort and expectancy for achievement. The strongest link to expectancy was the required motivation, while the integrative motivation was not a significant effect. The context of these findings is discussed in relation to the background of learners’ intentions and their characteristics of learning purpose. Implications for future research are explained as well as the need to re-examine students’ motivation in a different setting.
