studied widely today using the idea of selves from psychology. To date, little research has been conducted\
concerning the relationship between motivation and learning. This study addresses that gap by exploring the\
relationship between one type of motivation, possible selves, and language learning strategies. A questionnaire\
was distributed to 126 female university students, and nine of whom were subsequently interviewed\
in Japanese to examine their goal setting and their actual learning processes. The findings confirmed\
the participants’ level of possible selves and their use of language learning strategies were interrelated.\
Participants with high level of possible selves tended to use language learning strategies more frequently\
and have clearer goals than those who did not. Participants with low level of possible selves did not envision\
using English at all in the future. These results suggest the importance of classroom teachers helping learners\
enhance their possible selves related to English., お茶の水女子大学英文学会研究報告},
