Summary: We reviewed the mini-ought-to self-assessment statements, and you ranked how much influence your ought-to self has. If the outside influences were positive and motivating for you, this is promotional instrumentality. However, if the outside influences stress you out, you may have more preventional instrumentality. Both change over time.

Then, I explained the poster that visually represents your homework to get a greater sense of the L2 motivational self system replication study in Japan.

Ought-to self questions to answer in your Google Doc:

What do other people expect you to learn English? Why is that?

What do you feel about these expectations? Why?

Homework due Tuesday at 1 p.m. before Class 06:

1. Please read and take notes on pages 12-24 of the article. We will read this study in the link below, which is the same as the poster, slowly over two classes. This study is about University students’ motivation. Please take pictures of your notes, put them in the Class 06 Word document, and send the attachment. You do not have to understand everything, and ask me questions anytime you have them.

Your goal is to get 4,000 correct answers before the last class at your pace, but do practice sometime every week. This is 20% of the class grade, but you can choose the subjects you wish and feed children worldwide who are hungry for free, sponsored by the United Nations and the World Food Programme.
