Abstract

This study aimed to explore the intrinsic and extrinsic motivated strategies used by students at Hanoi Law University to learn legal English to identify the most common learning strategies and factors that influence their effectiveness. A quantitative method was employed in data collection and analysis with 65 respective legal English major students at Hanoi Law University in the second term of the 2022-2023 academic year. The study utilized a survey questionaire to gather data on students' motivation, attitudes towards the subject matter, and learning strategies. The results reveal that although students are highly motivated to learn legal English with positive attitudes towards the subject matter, some students experience test anxiety and difficulty understanding the material. The study also shows that students use various learning strategies such as asking themselves questions, summarizing key concepts, and creating outlines. The study has practical implications for language instructors and curriculum developers in designing instructional materials encompassing students' intrinsic motivation, and employing effective learning strategies.
