Abstract
This study investigates the relationships between information-based teaching design, teacher preparedness to use standards-based teaching practices, academic motivation, and the moderating role of the affective component of language attitude among university students. The research aims to understand how innovative teaching strategies influence academic motivation and the preparedness of teachers to adopt standards-based practices, with a focus on mediating and moderating mechanisms. The study was conducted in the language departments of universities, involving a sample of 255 students from different academic semesters. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire adapted from validated scales to align with the student perspective. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed for data analysis to examine hypothesized relationships and test mediation and moderation effects. The results confirmed that information-based teaching design significantly enhances both academic motivation and teacher preparedness. Teacher preparedness mediates the relationship between teaching design and academic motivation, while the affective component of language attitude moderates the impact of teaching design on motivation. These findings highlight the interplay of instructional design and affective factors in shaping academic outcomes. This research provides novel insights into the mediating and moderating mechanisms in educational settings, emphasizing the role of innovative teaching approaches and affective components in fostering academic motivation.
