The aim of this study was to investigate the self-confidence and educational motivation of the under-graduate male English department students and the effect of these attributes on their oral translation quality. One hundred BA undergraduate male students from two different universities in Iraq, University of Kufa in Najaf and University of Karbala were selected for this research. They received Namni’s self-confidence questionnaire (2007), (with reliability 0.88 and 0.81 validity) Harter’s motivational scale (1981) (with reliability 0.79 and validity 0.88) and oral translation test of about 60 words driven from the English news from the Voice of America (VOA). They scored by oral evaluation rubric method proposed by Clifford (Psychometric validation and interpreter certification). The 100 students underwent the self-confidence and the motivational questionnaires after that they stood up in front of five experienced raters and the VOA special English report was selected and played to the students in order to test their oral translation ability and quality. After the statistical analysis was taken, it is found that; a) there were significant positive correlation between the self-confidence and oral translation quality of male English translation students, b) there were significant positive correlation between the motivation and the quality of oral translation, c) self-confidence has more influence and was more closely correlated with oral translation quality. |
