Learner’s motivation and interest
Cases:
Learner 1:
views a language as a key to social/cultural opportunities - association with members of different cultures. --> Result: most successful learners.
Learner 2:
is simply studying for an immediate short-term goal, e.g. to acquire course credits. --> Result: no high degree of achievement.
NO EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION? - negative feelings about the language

Types of motivation

2 TYPES OF EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION:
INTEGRATIVE
student is attracted by the culture of the target language community.
INSTRUMENTAL
student believes that mastery of the target language will be instrumental in getting them a better job, position or status.
student's wish to succeed in an external exam, or peer-group influences.
sources are inaccessible to the influence of the teacher: the desire of students to please some other authority figure (parents)
2 - INTRINSIC
- concerned with what takes place inside the classroom.
whether they see the learning as worthwhile, whether they like the language and its cultural, political and ethnic associations.
the wish to learn for its own sake or interest in tasks
Motivation = easier learning + easier teaching
Who is a

?
‘motivated’ learner: one who is willing or even eager to invest effort in learning activities and to progress.
MOTIVATIONAL DIFFERENCES: adults & children
Children - curious, active; need changes in activities; need to be appreciated by their teacher
