A BRIEF DISCUSSION ON MOTIVATION OF CHINESE LANGUAGE LEARNING FOR STUDENTS MAJORING IN TRANSLATION STUDIES AT CONFUCIUS INSTITUTE OF SOUTH UKRAINIAN NATIONAL PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY NAMED AFTER K. D. USHYNSKY

Abstract

As the object and subject of teaching activities, the learners’ subjective motivation in learning has a crucial influence on the final learning effect. Therefore, the exploration of learners’ motivation and its influencing factors is of great practical significance to the development of teaching activities and the final achievement of teaching results. In this paper, we take the second-year translation class 2 of Confucius Institute as the object of teaching observation and motivation of Chinese language learning. By finding and analysing the relationship between students’ problems in Chinese learning and their motivation in the new Chinese learning cycle, we try to select a targeted method from the perspective of maintaining and further stimulating students’ Chinese learning motivation and make adjustments according to the actual application effect of the method. The aim is to find out a set of strategies for motivating students’ Chinese language learning in three different stages: before, during and after classes, so that students can gradually move from being able to learn to learning well and enjoying learning.
