A Quantitative Investigation into Chinese Non-English Majors' Affect in the Current EFL Context

This study aims at presenting a general picture of Chinese Non-English majors' affect from quantitative view and finding out to what degree various affective factors influence foreign language learning. 121 second-year Non-English majors at North China University of Technology are involved in this study as the subjects. The study results show that Chinese Non-English majors' foreign language study is mainly "instrumental motivation"-driven.Anxiety is the widespread problem among students in their language study. Students' learning attitude is exam-oriented to some degree. However, it seems that they have strong self-esteem and empathy. Integrative motivation,anxiety and learning attitude serve as the three strongest predictors to students' academic performance.
