Lin, Su; Shim, Jaewoo & Lee, Heechul. (2023). Chinese undergraduate students motivation to learn L2 English and L3 Korean simultaneously. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 31(3), 69-88. This study examined the motivation of undergraduate students in a Sino-Korean joint education programme to learn two foreign languages simultaneously, specially L2 English and L3 Korean. Using Dörnyeis L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS), the relationship between participants intended effort in L2 and L3 learning and other variables in L2 and L3 motivational systems was explored. A total of 222 subjects completed the 6-point Likert Scale questionnaire, and the collected data were processed using SPSS. Besides the descriptive statistics, canonical correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between L2 and L3 intended effort and other constructs, including ideal L2/L3 self, ought-to L2/L3 self, L2/L3 positive learning experience, and L2/L3 negative learning experience. Research results showed an intermediate level of motivation for both L2 and L3. Canonical correlation analysis revealed that L2 together with L3 intended effort in the dependent variable set shared approximately 75.6% variance with the linear combination of the other constructs in the independent variable set, indicating that L2MSS is explanatory for simultaneous language learning. Moreover, the results also indicated that L3 negative learning experience had positive influence on L2 intend effort, suggesting an interaction between L2 and L3 motivational systems among the subjects. Based on the findings, activities that could stimulate learners ideal multilingual self are proposed.
