Motivation In Learning a Foreign Language

Abstract

In this article, motivation in learning a foreign language is considered. External and internal motivation types are analyzed as basic types. A narrow-minded external motivation determines the attitude towards mastering a foreign language as a way of selfaffirmation, and sometimes as a path to personal well-being. Intrinsic motivation is not associated with external circumstances, but directly with the object itself. It is also often called procedural motivation. All these issues are considered in the article thoroughly.
