Strategies to Develop Learners’ Motivation .5 V Conclusion References I Motivation Background The achievement or failure of facing obstacles can be seen as a crucial explanation of motivation According to Alizadeh (2016), learners who have the right motivation can success in learning a second language The success of individuals in overcoming any difficulties relates to determination and the range of attempts to achieve their objectives The Gilakjani, Leong, and Sabouri researchers defined this fact as a psychological component, which is mentioned as motivation In the study of Nguyen (2019), he claimed that motivation consists of effect, effort, and desire The effect component refers to the emotional responses of students to learning a new language, while the effort element considers the studying time of the learners and the enthusiasm for learning a second language (L2) Moreover, the desire factor is seen as the extent of language learners who want to be fluent and good at their language Motivation term is as significant as learning term which help L2 learners gain their achievement This is because learning provides knowledge and skills for learners, while motivation gives them the encouragement to achieve their process of learning In the article of Khansir and Dehkordi (2017), the study mentioned that the learning of a foreign language can be impacted by a variety kinds of motivation Alizadeh (2016) and Dehkordi (2017) also claimed that lecturers, L2 learners, investigators, and material developers confirmed that the motivation element helps learners be proficient in L2 II Roles of Motivation The investigation of Alizadeh researcher divided motivation into terms, which were intrinsic, extrinsic, instrumental, and integrative motivation [ CITATION Ali16 \l 1033 ] Intrinsic motivation is defined as the inspiration for participating in the activities due to the satisfaction reason In contrast, extrinsic motivation is the way that learners join to gain potential targets, such as rewards or avoid punishment Another motivation component is instrumental motivation, which means the L2 learners use motivation to learn the language for specific purposes such as future job opportunities, translation, interpretation, understanding the technical materials, and so on The last term of motivation is integrative motivation which is seen as the integration of L2 students into the social exchange and culture of their L2 learners' group The continuation of Alizadeh’s investigation shows that intrinsic motivation plays an important role for L2 students in learning reading and speaking skills as well as acquiring knowledge and obtaining achievement Another declaration of Alizadeh is that integrative learners gain higher proficiency in learning language than those with instrumental motivation [ CITATION Ali16 \l 1033 ] Furthermore, the study of Nguyen (2019) claimed that L2 learners with motivation study efficiently and quickly rather than those with low levels of motivation One more function of motivation is that it helps learners become active and increase attention when studying and doing tasks Nevertheless, low motivated learners have less attention, discipline problems, or even cause misbehavior Apart from this, Christianto and Karin (2019) researchers show that motivation's roles are significant in both teaching and learning According to Christianto's study, the purpose of motivation is to determine learning, which helps learners find the solution to solve their problem during study progress As well as that, L2 learners can have positive attitudes when the motivation provides them with advantages of L2 and specific purposes of learning a foreign language Additionally, Christianto and Karin (2019) mentioned that the role of motivation in learning language is persistence because the students will pay attention to learning for certain purposes and keep perseverance to achieve their goals III Factors Effect Motivation in Learning Second Language In the study of Nguyen (2019) researcher, there are several factors that impact students' motivation for L2 First and foremost, the physical condition of the classroom environment is important to raising students' motivation For instance, blurry lighting, small size board, and a stuffy classroom have the physical impact of decreasing students' motivation Subsequently, teaching approach is the way that lecturers teach students, which means that when teachers have a good teaching method, the students will have motivation to study and vice versa Moreover, learning achievement is an element that effects learners because the level of activities in any lecture will impact the motivation of learning in students To clarify, when the lecturers provides advanced activities that may cause students' depressed But if the activities are too easy, the students will lose their motivation IV Strategies to Develop Learners’ Motivation Along with some negative impact of L2 learners’ motivation, there are some recommendations for foreign teaching methodologies that help lecturers increase student motivation in learning language The fist method is to raise the passion of studying in each learner [ CITATION Gil12 \l 1033 ] Passion is the core method to develop learners' motivation in learning foreign language The passion of learners relates to their goals' life, consideration things and emotional things of them For this method, the L2 learners need to detect and connect between their passion and learning foreign language In addition, lecturers also provide variety method to help students find passion connects with learning and keep their motivation There are some activities that teachers can use in class such as create culture for the class, design games, discover students’ personalities, individual tasks, speaking circle, and so on The next way to motivate learners is to change thé reality of the learners In this method, Gilakjani, Leong, and Sabouri recommended teachers support students with a high quality of instruction in which the learners can interact, get opportunities to learn new things, and create connections with their learning motivation Lecturers' responsibility is to keep learners' motivation for participating in outside activities Lecturers can guide them to good learning websites, use a diversity of learning sources, and use different kinds of teaching methods These efforts from teachers will help students change their reality perceptions to be interested in learning language The connection between learning and activities is also a good method to develop students' motivation[ CITATION Gil12 \l 1033 ] In-class activities help L2 learners build their brains and improve their memory Lecturers also need to give feedback to learners after activities to help them learn more effectively and improve themselves V Conclusion In the final analysis, motivation in learning the second language is important to students and lecturers so motivation needs to be considered as a core of encouraging students to learn the language Through many investigations of some researchers, the motivation of learners can increase or decrease based on the surrounding environment and the interaction of learners and teachers Motivation plays a crucial role for students who are learning a foreign language The persistence of motivation in L2 learners also needs the support and guidelines from their teachers for them to find the connection between learning and motivation References
