Мotivation can be of two types: intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic
motivation is a drive that comes from within a person. People are intrinsically
motivated when they enjoy doing an activity. Extrinsic motivation is a drive that
comes from outside of a person. People are extrinsically motivated when they want to
gain a reward (like a prize or a good grade) or avoid a punishment. Generally, when
someone already has intrinsic motivation, rewarding them can actually decrease their
intrinsic motivation, making them less interested in the activity and therefore
decreasing their performance.
However, when someone isn’t interested in a subject—meaning they have no
intrinsic motivation to learn about it—giving rewards can get them to participate in
the activity, which might then spark some intrinsic motivation within them. Extrinsic
motivation can lead to intrinsic motivation.
Though this isn’t always the case, most ESL students
already have intrinsic
motivation to learn English. They have a goal in mind, whether it’s related to
business, academics or something else, and English is necessary for them to reach
their goal. So they want to engage in learning the language.
With that in mind, too much praise or extrinsic motivation can actually hinder their
learning. That’s why your students will perform best when you focus on motivating
them intrinsically rather than extrinsically. In other words,
encourage their already
present desire to learn rather than tempting them to learn with external rewards.
In the era of globalization of all spheres of social life, the problem of
motivation in the study of foreign languages becomes extremely urgent.
Globalization means that the role of personal contacts of people, and, consequently,
of verbal communication, including interethnic communication, which requires
knowledge of a foreign language, is growing more and more [1, p.122].
Foreign
languages are becoming one of the main factors of both socio-economic and general
cultural progress of society. A foreign language plays a huge role in shaping the
personality and improving education, because with the help of it you can get direct
108
access to the spiritual wealth of another country, get the opportunity to directly
communicate with representatives of other nations. Therefore, it is not surprising that
in recent years in our country there has been a significant increase in interest in
foreign languages, mainly in English. Now knowledge of two or more languages is an
undoubted attribute of any modern highly educated person. Knowledge of a foreign
language has become a real need, without it it is already
impossible to get a high-
paying job and build a successful career. New political and socio-economic changes
in Russia in recent decades, its desire to actively and fruitfully cooperate with
Western countries significantly influenced the expansion of the function of a foreign
language as a subject and led to a rethinking of the goal, objectives and content of
teaching foreign languages [2, p.3] ... The new political situation, the expansion of
international cooperation and international contacts require today a deeper knowledge
of a foreign language.
All of the above significantly increases the prestige of the subject "foreign
language" as an educational discipline of the university. And here the concept of
motivation comes to the fore. Of course, the problem of motivation in learning arises
in every subject, but it is especially acute in the study of a foreign language. It's all
about the special specifics of the subject, which requires the student to have a certain
base and communication skills. This often causes certain difficulties for students and
the motivation disappears. Therefore, considering motivation
as the main driving
force in the study of a foreign language, we note that the motives refer to the
subjective world of a person, are determined by his inner motives. Hence all the
difficulties of calling motivation from the outside. A person will be able to learn a
foreign language if only he himself feels the need for this, that is, he will be
motivated.
Let's try to figure out what the motivational sphere of a person is and how it is
characterized in educational activities. Scientists interpret the concept of "motive" in
different ways: K. Vilyunas understands the conditions of existence by motive, G.A.
Kovalev - moral and political attitudes, and J. Godefroy - the consideration by which
the subject should act. One way or another, most agree
that a motive is either a
motive, or an intention, or a goal. Therefore, this concept must be approached
comprehensively, taking into account all possible aspects.
Now we will characterize those types of motivation that take place in teaching,
in particular, a foreign language. Together, they constitute the so-called learning
motivation. Learning motivation is determined by a number of specific factors:
- the characteristics of the student (gender, self-esteem, level of intellectual
development)
- the characteristics of the teacher and his attitude to teaching
- organization of the pedagogical process
- the specifics of the subject (in this case, a foreign language)
Based on the above factors, educational motivation can be divided into external
and internal.
Extrinsic motivation is not directly related to the content of the subject, but is
due to external circumstances. Examples include:
109
- achievement motive - caused by a person's desire to achieve success and high
results in any activity, including in the study of a foreign language. For example, for
excellent grades, obtaining a diploma, etc.;
- the motive for self-affirmation
- the desire to assert oneself, to get the
approval of other people. A person learns a foreign language in order to obtain a
certain status in society;
- identification motive - a person's desire to be like another person, as well as to
be closer to their idols and heroes (for example, to understand the lyrics of a favorite
group);
- the motive of affiliation - the desire to communicate with other people. A
person can learn a foreign language in order to communicate with foreign friends;
- the motive for self-development - the desire for self-improvement. A foreign
language serves as a means for spiritual enrichment and general development of a
person;
Internal motivation is not associated with external circumstances, but directly
with the object itself. It is also often called procedural motivation. A person likes a
foreign language directly, likes to show. Motivating students is a part of every
teacher’s job. As a conclusion we can say that, while honey and vinegar may be great
in
the kitchen, the best kind of motivation comes from within your students
themselves. When we encourage intrinsic motivation in the members of our classes,
we set them up for success even after they leave our classrooms.
