This presentation explores the relationship between Kosen students’ motivational characteristics and their English (L2) learning outcomes regarding the L2 self-concept. Data from a questionnaire and proficiency test indicated that while professional future self-images as an engineer generally correlated with higher test scores, obligation-based future L2 selves and the classroom atmosphere were more strongly linked to positive learning outcomes among lower-attaining students. The session discusses possible pedagogical interventions regarding these findings.
