| description | Many learners are excited to use language learning software when the software is introduced. However, it is believed that, the low proficiency users are less motivated
compared to high proficiency users. This study compares the motivational level of low and high proficiency undergraduates of IUCM in using TMM language learning
software. The data was collected by administering the modified Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS) questionnaire (Keller, 1987) to the respondents
and analyzed using SPSS software to arrive at the statistical figures. The analysis shows that there are not many discrepancies in terms of the motivational level
between the two groups in using the software, thus indicating the strengths of the software in catering for both groups. However, there are also some weaknesses in the
software that will be addressed in this paper. Finally, possible modifications to TMM software pertaining to the features related to the ARCS model (Keller, 1987) will also
be put forth. |
