| description | Many studies have emphasized the role of motivation in second language learning. It plays a key role in the
acquisition of knowledge, skills and language proficiency besides others. In most disciplines of learning, we
have to be sufficiently motivated to pursue our goals and achieve the objectives. It is obvious those who are
motivated may be expected to perform better. Not all learners may be motivated enough to reach the targets
set. The teacher can help to motivate the learners through various means. Lack of motivation is a serious
problem. According to a 2003 report on motivation in schools in USA, upwards of 40% of secondary school
students have become chronically disengaged from school (Crotty, 2003). By comparison, students who are
motivated to learn record higher achievement scores. Such students are more satisfied with school and better
understand the concepts they are exposed to. |
