Abstract: (1340 Views)
According to Social Cognitive Theory , learning is affected by cognitive, behavioral, and environmental factors. This study intended to examine the possible relationship between EFL teachers’ personality type, age, attire and Iranian intermediate EFL learners’ motivation for foreign langauge learning. Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ) was administered to eight EFL teachers to determine their type of personality trait. Next, the motivation questionnaire was given to 100 male and female EFL learners to investigate the participants’ motivation in learning the English language. A truth-by-consensus method was used for determining the teachers’ level of attire. Finally, the questionnaires were collected and analyzed. It was concluded that there was a significant and small relationship between personality types and motivation scores at 5% significant level. However, the relationship between teachers' attire and motivation was strong. According to the findings of Pearson correlation test, the correlation between EFL teachers’ age and motivation was small (r= -.320). Students also model this behavior and personality when they interact with their peers. In fact, teachers with the traits of sociability, assertiveness and gregariousness in their classes not only can lead their students towards leaving shyness but also help them in building a strong interaction with their peers and inspire them into being successful learners. Thus teachers’ behavior is like a link that comes between the learner and his/her peers. The findings in this study involve some implications for researchers, educators and task designers. On the basis of, the outcomes of the research, professionally-attired teachers are instrumental in making a positive difference in the academics and social growth of students. When teachers are presented as professionally-attired educators, positive social changes may occur in the schools and the educational environment in general.
