The questionnaire titled "Research on attitudes toward English classes and English learning" with the same 50 items utilized in the questionnaire for teachers in the previous article (1) (Narikawa and Okazaki, 2011) was administered to 223 junior high school and 492 senior high school students. Two remarkable findings were discovered: one is that both junior and senior high school students hope for more opportunities in which they can use English than they presently have and the other is that strategies for promoting extrinsic motivation can be effective for students who seem not to have high motivation for learning English. The pedagogical implications suggest Japanese English teachers can motivate their students if they increase the opportunities inside and outside classes in which students can actually use English, and that teachers can utilize extrinsic motivation more effectively., Article, 富山大学人間発達科学部紀要, 6巻2号, Page 185-201}, pages = {185--201}, title = {Effective motivational strategies for English classes in Japan (2) : based on questionnaires to teachers and students}, volume = {6}, year = {2012} }
