The Effect of Motivation on Language Learning

The concept of motivation is the subject of many research and is considered to be an important determinant of successful implementation in the field of language learning. Encouraging learning environments must support the educational process. It will initially create learning and will later lead to the process of learning the target language (Cheng & Dornyei, 2007). Teachers long recognized that motivation is concentrating on problem solving in education. Motivation is an important element for bringing students into the learning process and making them academically successful (Oliver, 1995).

Motivation plays an important role in learning languages. If a language teacher does not understand the relationship between motivation and its impact on language acquisition, the language can not be effectively taught. The core of motivation is the so-called passion, which is related to human internal goals and desires. Successful learners know their tastes, strengths and weaknesses, effectively utilize their strengths to compensate for their weaknesses. Successful language learning is related to learner's passion. Teachers should find ways to connect with this passion

The motivation to learn the second language / foreign language is defined as the reference point for the learner to learn the goals of the second language. (Crookes & Schmidt 1991). In order to study and realize the impact of motivation on second language acquisition, it is necessary to identify two basic motivation types (integration and tools). The motivation for the integration is characterized by a learner 's optimism and a positive attitude towards the target language society, and the desire to participate in the target language society. Tool motivation involves the achievement of the second language, thus obtaining some social or economic incentives for more functional reasons for language learning (Gardner & Lambert, 1972).

According to the social education model of Gardner (2001), in second language learning motivation is divided into three elements. First, aggressive language learners try to learn more about opportunities by doing homework, learning more opportunities, and by consistently and consistently learning language teaching materials by doing more. Second, motivated language learners learn languages ​​with a strong desire to achieve their goals. Third, motivated language learners are willing to participate in tasks in various languages ​​with enthusiasm. Likewise, Oxford and Shearin (1996) further suggests that motivated L2 learners are more likely to actively participate in individual activities in second language or foreign language learning. I will learn. Schmidt (1983) conducted a longitudinal study of three years, where his participant Wes was a native speaker of Japanese who studied English at Honolulu.
