Abstract

Motivation is the Cinderella term in second language learning. However, it lies at the heart of language learning. It is assumed that motivation is a catch-all term for elaborating the success or failure of any task. In other words, success in any task is highly dependent on learner’s motivation. Lack of motivation is perhaps the biggest obstacle faced by teachers and students. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of different listening text types on students English listening comprehension motivation among Iranian EFL learners. Eighty Iranian upper-intermediate EFL students participated in the current study. Participants' listening comprehension motivation was measured by English listening comprehension motivation scale (ELCMS) developed by Hsu from Chang (2001). The results revealed that the effect of dynamic listening text types on motivation was more than static texts in the female group. However, the effect of listening static texts on listening was more than dynamic in the male group. Therefore, in this study, the data showed there is difference between males and females’ listening comprehension motivation scores in different text types.
