Tóm tắt
The study aims to investigate the technique of using short stories to motivate intermediate EFL learners in essay writing. This study involved 45 intermediate learners of English. Both quantitative and qualitative data were gathered from the questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The findings regarding the attitudes of the learners and factors motivating them in their essay writing through using short stories are mostly positive. In terms of attitudes, the most dominant aspect was affective attitudes which had the highest mean score among the components while behavioral and cognitive components were considered to be less influential on the learners. Concerning motivation of the learners, the extrinsic motivation seemed to be prevailing whereas intrinsic motivation had inferior influence. Based on the findings, some recommendations for the learners and teachers are accordingly put forward.
