The vocational context is a very specific one which is currently undergoing major changes worldwide. Studying English as part of the vocational package is new to South Africa, and has posed some challenges: chief among these ¿ student attitudes towards learning English to support their academic progress. To explore some of these attitudes, a mixed-method approach was used. The aim was to include as many motivational variables to determine which ones were most influential in determining students¿ motivational orientations.   A framework comprising four levels ¿ the language level, the individual level, the classroom level and the programme level - was developed to accommodate the myriad of variables. Various theories were explored in an attempt to explain the findings of the study, including self-determination theory, expectancy-value theory, goal theory and achievement theory. The framework was then used to plot those variables that emerged as most significant in this specific context ¿ an approach which yielded some surprising results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783659207419\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Study of The Learning Orientations of Vocational Students\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783659207419","offer_id":39487701745757,"sku":"9783659207419","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/5fef1929-1021-41f7-aff8-e3cd516870d3.jpg?v=1774678996","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/language-learning-motivation-von-ericha-cosburn","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
