 note = {application/pdf, This paper sets out to conduct a preliminary investigation into the impact of different genres of instructional materials on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning motivation in Japanese engineering students. In order to measure the motivational impact of specific instructional materials the study trialed a questionnaire consisting of Keller’s (1987a) Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS), and open-ended survey items. Several statistically significant differences were found in the IMMS items measuring the two types of materials. The findings were complimented and expanded upon by results of the open-ended items which indicated that the study participants were generally more motivated by English mathematics materials than general science-themed EFL reading materials. The reasons for such preferences included the self-efficacy engendered by the math materials, their increased cognitive and visual appeal, as well as the increased post-task satisfaction they provided. Overall, the data collection instrument proved effective in revealing motivational information about instructional materials, although particular scales would benefit from further refinement in order to improve their internal validity.},
