Drawing on the distinction between societal and educational motivations in L2 learning suggested by Gardner (2010) and extending this duality to learners’ perceived needs for English (PNE), this study explores the causal relationship involving dual motivation types and dual senses of need for English with EFL learners. Data collection from Japanese and Korean college English learners followed by SEM analyses (with 310 Japanese and 330 Korean participants) found that intrinsic reasons for learning English and societal PNE impact both societal and educational motivations significantly across the two groups. Educational PNE, in contrast, showed only negligible impact on either type of motivation, casting doubt on the motivational effectiveness of classroom-generated need for English. A subsequent multi-group SEM analysis found that intrinsic reasons play a significantly greater motivational role with the Japanese than with the Korean participants. The Korean participants, on the other hand, demonstrated a greater role of societal PNE than the Japanese counterparts. These are discussed to reflect the enjoyment-based English learning and teaching in the Japanese university and the relatively large social demand for English competence in Korean culture.
