Methodology in Language Learning: Theory of Linguistic Self-Confidence
From a motivational perspective, the most important factor
is self-confidence, which in general refers to the belief that a person has the
ability to produce results, accomplish goals, or perform tasks competently. It has
been proved that that in contexts where different language communities
live together, linguistic self-confidence—derived from the quality and quantity
of the contact between the members of the L1 and L2 communities—is
a major motivational factor in learning the other community’s language, and
determines the learners’ future desire for intercultural communication and the
extent of identification with the L2 group.
The linguistic
self-confidence is primarily a socially defined construct (in contrast to the
cognitive nature of self-efficacy in the motivational
psychological literature), although self-confidence also has a cognitive
component, the ‘perceived L2 proficiency. the applicability of the
self-confidence construct by showing that it is also a significant motivational
subsystem in foreign language learning situations in which there is little
direct contact with members of the L2 community but considerable indirect
contact with the L2 culture through the media.
