摘要：In recent years, the L2 Motivational Self System (L2 MSS) has become an influential motivational theory on second or foreign language (L2) learning. Consequently, the present study sought to find out the possible relationship between L2 MSS and L2 Willingness to Communicate (L2 WTC). Participants for the study were 105 university students enrolled in an English as a foreign language preparatory program at a private university in Ankara, Turkey. Data were collected by using the Ideal L2 self, the Ought-to L2 self, and Willingness to Communicate Inside the Classroom scales. Findings of descriptive statistics revealed that 32.4% of the participants had high, 40% had moderate, and 27.6% had low L2 MSS scores. Findings also indicated that the relationship between the Ideal L2 Self and L2 WTC was statistically significant; however, the relationship between the Ought-to L2 self and L2 WTC was not statistically significant. To further understand the relationship between the Ideal L2 Self and L2 WTC a partial correlation was conducted, and the results indicated that even though the relationship lost its magnitude, it was still significant.
