The purpose of the study is to provide hypothesis-generating data for future research on interactions between and among learner subjectivity, attitudes and motivation, and pragmatic development.

Abstract of reaearch:
Anecdotal reports from classroom language teachers suggest that students’ professed positive attitudes towards learning English and their language-related behaviors often do not match. Many claim “interest” in the language and, when pushed to explain, the learners tend to state that “it is necessary” to study English for their future careers or for study abroad. Very few seem to be motivated to acculturate to the target language culture or norms of communication. These reports motivated my decision to look into the attitudes of EFL learners in the form of a study of individual differences, specifically, one which focuses on the relationship among attitudes, learner self-identity, and willingness to accommodate to L2 pragmatic norms. This paper reports on evidence of the extent Japanese EFL learners seek to adopt L2 communicative norms. The descriptive account explores learners’ self-reports on attitudes towards the target language, subjective reactions to L2 pragmatic norms, and motivations towards accommodating to those norms. While the level of resistance to acquiring proficiency in the use of L2 pragmatic norms is not strong, the learners’ accounts indicate their efforts to establish a L2 self-identity compatible with their own individual goals.acquiring proficiency in the use of L2 pragmatic norms is not strong.

Paraphrase:
According to reports classroom language teachers suggest that often do not match between students’ professed positive attitudes of learning English and their language-related behaviors. When the learners are pushed to explain interest in language, they used to declare that it is needed to study English for their future plan. It seems very few learners are motivated to absorb and assimilate the culture of the target language or the way they communicate. I decide to explore the attitudes of EFL learners in the form of a study of individual differences which relay on the relationship between viewpoint, learner' self-identify, and eagerness to accommodate to L2 pragmatic norms because of these reports. This research focused on evidence of the extent Japanese EFL learners look for adopt L2 communicative norms. Learners'self-reports of attitudes for the target language, subjective reactions to L2 pragmatic norms, and motivations towards accommodating to those norms were described. The learners’ accounts show their efforts to found a L2 self-identify compatible with their future goals while the level of resistance to.
The acceptance of learning english
Learning english is so popular these day, especially in Asian country. All of us have a goal which can explain how is the accepted level of learning English. According to those motivation who desires to learning english, motivation can be dividedinto three levels:
The frist level is people learning second language for examination or working demand. When they need to use, they will come back to learn it again. But in other time they even didn't touch any second language. This kind of person make the second language an instrument.
The second level is someone who are interested in language. For example, a lot of people have the thought that the tone and voice of French is so wonderful, therefore, they like to learn second language because of intrinsic motivation.
The last level is the highest level. In this level people learning second language because of their interest in getting to know about the culture of people who use the language. They want to know more and get more knowledge of everything about the country, for example, like history, human' life, technology, even the art. As a result, they may become learner who learn most in these three levels.
No matter what kind of learner, both of their goal is to speak French well. Whether their motivation is good or bad, we must be know that learning english is more important than before

A Happy Life
Everyone desires to have a happy life. But what is the meaning of life?
Life is composed of series eperiments and activities. At this point, a happy life may be some beautiful experiments. For me, a happy life means comfort, leisure, luxury and value. Comfort and leisure are the situations which give us more beautiful time. Luxury may be defined as the kind of life whiclh give us enrichment and limitless resources. Value, a kind of measured standard, which give us self-respect. If I could own all of these, I would say life is beautiful and happy. How do you think of your life, beautiful or boring?
Motorcycle and Bicycle
Althogh motorcycles and bicycles are all used for transportation, there are still some differences between them. First, the biggest difference is the operation. The former uses gas to work. The later use humanpower to work it. The second difference is the price. Without the first costs, bicycles are much cheaper than motorcycles. Then, appeapance is another difference between them. A motorcycle is bigger, heavier the a bicycle. This is the reason why I like motorcycls more than bicycles. The next difference is the benefit, motorcycles are more convenient and more useful. If you always need to ride l long distances or time is really important for you, a motor is better than a bicycle. If you need exercise, riding bicycle is not bad for you. At this point, if you ask me what I like more then my answer is motorcycle.

Tired but Multicolored
Sometimes I would think if I go back to school, what will I get? There is usually an idea in my mind - go back to school. In order to get more money, friends even a degree, I must return to school. But the stresses of working and academic assignment are so heavy that I don't know whetherI can get both well or not.
First, time is a big problem. I always need to work on daytime from eight to five. After work, I usually take twenty or thirty minutes to rest then go straight to school. When I got home, it's usually 10:30 pm. After a bath and dinner, it's usually 11:30. So I really have no time to study and to do my homework. I only can do it on my holiday. This mean I don't have enough time to hang out with my friends.
Then day and day's work and assigment made me feel tired. Not only physical but also mental. Big stress and busy life sometimes me feel sickness. The increase of tiredness and stress, as a result, give my life and body more and more challenges.
But go back to school still has some advantages. For example, it makes my life more fullness. Formerly I sometimes didn't know what to do after work. But now go to school made my free time more interesting and I can learn more experience and get more firends.
Although go back school made me feel tired, it still get more than lost for me. If you have free time, maybe you can try. Then maybe you will like it.
