THE IMPORTANCE OF MOTIVATIONAL FACTORS IN THE SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNING OF EFL STUDENTS
Abstract
This article discusses the role of motivational factors in the process of acquiring a second language by students learning English as a foreign language. It also discusses the external and internal factors that directly and indirectly participate in the formation of motivation in learners, and analyzes the scientific works of world scientists working in this field. In particular, the scientific works of Gardner and Robert C., who are among the leading scientists in this field and have played a significant role in the in-depth analysis of the term motivation, entitled Integrative motivation and second language acquisition, are interpreted within the framework of existing theories.
