4. Introduction
 “We take the view that L2 motivation is one
of the most important factors that
determine the rate and success of L2
achievement: it provides the primary energy
to initiate learning the L2 and later the
driving force to sustain the long and often
tedious learning process” (Dornyei & Csizer,
1998, p. 203).

5. Definitions of Motivation
 A student's willingness, need, desire and compulsion to participate in,
and be successful in, the learning process" (Bomia et al., 1997, p. 1)
 Motivated students "select tasks at the border of their capabilities,
initiate action when given the opportunity, and utilize strong effort
and concentration in the implementation of learning tasks; they show
generally positive emotions during ongoing action, including
enthusiasm, optimism, curiosity, and interest" (p. 3).
 Less motivated or disengaged students, on the other hand, "are
passive, do not try hard, and give up easily in the face of challenges"
(Skinner & Belmont, 1991, p. 4).

6. types of motivation
 Extrinsic
 Engaging in behavior to achieve a reward or
to avoid a punishment from an external
source.
 Intrinsic
 Engaging in behavior out of curiosity, sense
challenge and an internal sense of satisfaction.
Which one is better?

8. Teachers’ importance in motivation
While it is true that most students
have the ability to teach themselves,
it is important they have the
motivation to learn. This motivation
must come from a teacher.

15. .
Which strategies do you feel are
most effective to improve
motivation, and why?
(Discussion)

16. Institutional aspects that can lower
students motivation include factors:
 large class sizes
 Obligatory course
requirements
 Standardized exams

17. Conclusion
“Without sufficient motivation, even
individuals with the most remarkable
abilities cannot accomplish long-term goals,
and neither are appropriate curricula and
good teaching enough to ensure student
achievement … on the other hand, high
motivation can make up for considerable
deficiencies both in one’s language aptitude
and learning conditions” (Dornyei and
Csizer, 1998, pp. 203-4).
