Abstrakty

Artykuł jest próbą zaprezentowania pojęcia celu w ujęciu różnych teorii z zakresu nauczania języków obcych. Cele uważa się za czynnik determinujący motywację, ponieważ regulują one ludzkie zachowanie na wielu płaszczyznach. Warto więc przyjrzeć się roli, jaką przypisują celom poszczególne podejścia do nauczania języków, które dążą do podnoszenia efektywności tego procesu. Artykuł zawiera analizę i opis takich zagadnień, jak autonomia ucznia, strategie uczenia się, samoregulacja, teoria mediacji, analiza potrzeb, które traktują cele i ich wyznaczanie jako ważne elementy uczenia się języka obcego. Oczywiste wydaje się, że sukces w uczeniu się języka może zależeć od wielu czynników. Przeprowadzona analiza literatury pokazuje jednak, że rola celów wydaje się kluczowa do lepszego zrozumienia mechanizmów, które kształtują sukces poszczególnych uczniów. (abstrakt oryginalny)

The aim of this article is to present the goal construct as conceptualized by different theories in the field of second language education. As goals are considered to be necessary determinants of motivation, they regulate human behavior on a number of levels. It seems particularly interesting to find and describe their place within various approaches to second language learning that are directed at facilitating this process. The article includes the analysis and description of such concepts as learner autonomy, learning strategies, self-regulation, the theory of mediation, and needs analysis. All of them treat goals and goal-setting as important components of the learning process. Without doubt, successful language learning experience may depend on a number of factors. However, the literature review that was conducted for the purpose of this article indicates that the role of goals seems to be crucial to our understanding of the mechanisms shaping this experience.
