Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate student motivation and achievement in English and their relation to teacher motivation and strategy use in the classroom. Research participants were 31 teachers in Catalonia (Spain) and the 694 students in their classes. The unit of analysis was the English class. The results of our study suggest that teacher motivation is related to teacher use of motivating strategies, which in turn are related to student motivation and English Achievement. Thus, any change in the educational system that promotes higher levels of teacher motivation should result in improved levels of education of the students.

PORTA LINGUARUM is an international and interuniversity journal that specialises in foreign language didactics. Its aims to publish empirical studies, critical revisions, and theoretical models that relate to the many factors that influence the FL teaching and learning:
- The social and school context: the family’s social and cultural influence as well as the student’s mother language and its influence on the L2 learning process, etc.
- The students: their personal characteristics (age, gender, personality traits, etc.) as well as their attitudes, motivation, cognitive styles, etc.
- The FL teacher: the teacher’s mental representations, attitudes, motivation, individual characteristics, teaching methods, etc.
- Learning conditions and the learning process, variables that influence the teaching and learning processes in the classroom: efficiency of teaching strategies, teaching methods and techniques, second language acquisition processes, students and teachers interaction, effect of teaching resources and materials, etc.
- Learning outcomes: evaluation of procedures as well as the evaluation of the students’ communicative competence at different academic levels, etc.
