The correlation between foreign learners' motivation to learn Vietnamese and learning outcomes: A case study in Hanoi, Vietnam
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article examines the correlation between Vietnamese language learning motivation and learning outcomes among foreign learners in Hanoi. A simple random sampling method was used to collect data from 307 foreign learners studying at several universities and language centers in Hanoi. The study found a strong positive correlation between foreign language learning motivation and their learning outcomes. It also revealed that learner interest and self-awareness play crucial roles in determining their motivation to learn. The article draws important conclusions about the role of motivation in Vietnamese language learning outcomes, as well as other factors that may affect learner motivation. Based on the study findings, it proposes that teachers use appropriate teaching methods and classroom organization to cultivate and enhance learner motivation.
