Abstract

This thesis was designed to examine the possible effectiveness of oral self-expression activities for facilitating students' positive attitudes and motivation toward language learning. The concept of attitudes and motivation was based on the discussion by Keller (1983), Gardner (1985a, 1985b), Spolsky (1989), Crookes and Schmidt (1991), Dornyei (1994a, 1994b), Oxford and Shearin (1994), and Tremblay and Gardner(1995). This study required testing the theories that oral self-expression activities can facilitate students' attitudinal and motivational components more positively than role-play or drill type activities. In order to confirm these theories, a 5 class-hour study was conducted in Speaking class only that focuses on Self-expression activities at an English course named SENTRA with 15 students as the respondents. While 5 class hour before the class was conducted in Reading and Writing class that focuses on role-plays and drill type activities. The self-expression activity was a new type activity for the respondents. The respondents were required to answer the attitudes and motivation questionnaire before and after self-expression activities. The students as respondents in this research in accordance with their scores of the pre-questionnaire to examine their attitudinal and motivational change during self-expression activities.
