澳門高校大學生的英語學習狀況調查

Macao is an international city with ten tertiary education institutions and always emphasizes students’ English learning. In the past ten years, more and more non-local students came to Macao to further their education, which leads to a big change in the student structure, affecting the college students’ English learning. This study investigates the interrelations among college students’ behavioral intention, their attitude toward English learning, their perceived behavioral beliefs and their accepted norms based on the theory of planned behavior, and studies their English learning from aspects of students’ gender and origin. It reveals that Macao college students’ intention of learning English is positively affected by their learning attitude, perceived behavioral beliefs and accepted norms, so we suggest that English teachers in Macao should improve their pedagogy to build up students’ positive learning attitude. Furthermore, teachers should encourage students to speak English on many different occasions. The outcome also reveals that the attitude, perceived behavior control and behavioral intention are quite different between female and male students, and between local and non-local students.
