Park, Hyesook & Lee, Ho Jung. “The Relationships of WTC and Motivation in Korean EFL Learners’ Oral Communicative Competence.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 39.1 (2013): 243-271. This study took an aim to explore the relationships among willingness to communicate (WTC), motivation and English oral communicative competence of Korean EFL learners. The participants were 65 Korean college students who took English speaking classes in 2012. Questionnaires related to WTC and motivation were given to the participants and their oral communicative competence was assessed by TOEIC speaking test. The results of analyses showed that WTC was most closely linked with Korean English learners’ oral communicative competence, and that WTC, and instrumentality were significantly positive predictors for Korean EFL learners’ oral communicative competence, while ought-to self was a negative predictor. The results of correlation showed that integrativeness and ideal self had more closely significant correlations with WTC than others. From these findings, suggestions for enhancing Korean EFL learners’ WTC and oral communicative competence were given. (Kunsan Nat’l University ․ Woosuk University)
