 A Study on the Role of Motivation in Foreign Language Learning and Teaching

Motivation is a crucial factor in learning a foreign language, which is influenced by different variables: personality variables, the attitudes of learners, their learning styles. Many teachers believe that by sticking to the language materials and trying to teach their learners, they will manage to create a classroom environment that will be conducive to learning. These teachers seem to lose sight of the fact that, they accept their learners' personalities and work on those small details that constitute their social and psychological make-up, they will fail to motivate them. Language learning and teaching should take account of a variety of factors that are likely to promote success. Language is part of one's identity and is used to convey this identity to others. Foreign language learning has an important effect on the social being of the learner, it involves the adoption of new social and cultural behaviors and ways of thinking.
