The overall aim of this article is to explain how the MUSIC Model of Motivation can be applied to L2 instruction in a manner that is consistent with positive psychology, which emphasizes individuals' strengths and the conditions in which they thrive. The article begins by describing the MUSIC model, which is a research-based framework that organizes strategies that instructors can use to motivate students to engage in learning. The MUSIC model can be used by L2 instructors to create learning experiences that consider learners' cognition, affect, needs, and desires in order to foster their motivation and engagement in L2 classes. The article also provides teaching strategies related to the MUSIC model and presents an assessment tool (the MUSIC Model of Academic Motivation Inventory) that can be used by L2 instructors to measure students' MUSIC perceptions of their class. The assessment tool provides feedback to instructors that can be used to improve their instruction by incorporating strategies that allow their students to flourish. Examples of how the MUSIC Inventory can be used to assess L2 instruction are provided. Although researchers have examined the use of the MUSIC model in L2 classes, this research is underdeveloped, and many questions related to its use in L2 classes remain. The article concludes by proposing unanswered questions that could lead to more effective uses of the MUSIC model in L2 classes.
本文的总体目标是解释如何以一种与积极心理学相一致的方式,将动机的MUSIC模型应用于第二语言教学,积极心理学强调个体的优势以及他们蓬勃发展的条件。文章开篇描述了MUSIC模型,它是一个基于研究的框架,组织了教师可用于激励学生参与学习的策略。第二语言教师可以使用MUSIC模型来创造学习体验,这种体验要考虑学习者的认知、情感、需求和愿望,以促进他们在第二语言课堂上的动机和参与度。文章还提供了与MUSIC模型相关的教学策略,并展示了一种评估工具(学术动机的MUSIC模型量表),第二语言教师可用其来衡量学生对课堂的MUSIC认知。该评估工具为教师提供反馈,可用于通过采用能让学生蓬勃发展的策略来改进教学。文中给出了MUSIC量表如何用于评估第二语言教学的示例。尽管研究人员已考察了MUSIC模型在第二语言课堂中的应用,但这项研究尚不完善,与它在第二语言课堂中的应用相关的许多问题仍然存在。文章最后提出了一些未解决的问题,这些问题可能会使MUSIC模型在第二语言课堂中得到更有效的应用。
