Motivation and Motivating in Second Language Acquisition: A Literature Review
Abstract
language learning and achievement. Few pieces of research, however, have been conducted to analyse motivational techniques,
even fewer have focused on empirical studies concerning the effectiveness of motivational strategies. To fill the gap, this review aims
to update major literature of motivation from both theoretical and practical perspectives, especially focusing on the effectiveness of
motivational strategies applied in the classroom. Suggestions concerning further research directions are also provided.
