Types of motivation in english language learning among CBTIS 214 students.

Abstract

The main objective of this research study was to determine CBTIS 214 students’ motivation or amotivation according to self-determination theory along with how the experiences of English learners are related to motivation and amotivation. In addition, external factors such as grades, teachers and shift were investigated to establish the impact of those factors in students’ motivation. The theory used for this project was based on the self determination theory from Ryan and Deci (2002). The recent study used a qualitative method. Results showed that most of the students are located in extrinsic motivation according to the self-determination. Moreover, results demonstrated that external factors such as teachers and shift have a strong influence on students’ motivation. Outcomes also showed that experiences play an important role in participants’ motivation when learning English.
