Abstract

This research aims to gain a better understanding of the critical role that teachers play in explaining why pupils are motivated to learn. This can help students explore information and new concepts in settings in which they feel competent and motivated. The term motivation according to Gardner and Lambert (1972) indicates motivation as a “desire to achieve a goal, effort expended, and attitudes to learning a language”. Therefore, their motivation has a direct influence on the effort they put in and on their academic outcome. Understanding what motivates students well could encourage teachers to decide the best methods to educate their students and how to put those methods into practice. This study provides insight into how English teachers who have been teaching for several years see the impact of motivation on language learning and what they think they can do as language teachers to motivate their students. The main aims and focus of this study were to find out what motivates EFL students and factors that affect their motivation.

提高学习动机对英语学习者成绩的潜在益处
这项研究旨在更好地了解教师在解释学生为何有学习动力方面所起的关键作用。这可以帮助学生在他们感到有能力和有动力的环境中探索信息和新概念。加德纳和兰伯特(Gardner and Lambert,1972 年)认为,学习动机是指 "实现目标的愿望、付出的努力和学习语言的态度"。因此,他们的学习动机直接影响到他们所付出的努力和学习成绩。了解什么能很好地激发学生的学习动机,可以鼓励教师决定教育学生的最佳方法,以及如何将这些方法付诸实践。本研究深入探讨了已从教多年的英语教师如何看待学习动机对语言学习的影响,以及他们认为作为语言教师可以采取哪些措施来激发学生的学习动机。本研究的主要目的和重点是找出激发 EFL 学生学习动机的因素。
