This study partially replicates a previous study by Papi and Teimouri (2014). Motivational dispositions were obtained using a questionnaire, which was created within the framework of the L2 Motivational Self System (Dörnyei, 2005). The results showed that the students’ overall motivational dispositions tended to be instrumentally oriented. Follow-up cluster analysis extracted five more homogeneous subgroups and revealed a relatively small number of students who were highly motivated and susceptible to demotivation.}, pages = {71--89}, title = {Motivational profiles of Japanese university learners of English : A case of policy studies majors in rural Japan}, volume = {32}, year = {2016} }
