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.

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.

students motivation include factors:
large class sizes

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).
