The present study treats it as both a dependent function of classroom activities and an independent predictor of study time, expected grade, and whether a student will continue to study the language. Six distinct motivational types arc discussed: motivation about the language, motivation about the class, confidence, external motivation, whether the class feels required, and self-reported motivation.
