24、ory subject for students. in that case, researches on english learning have been paid more attention to. there are lots of factors that influence second language acquisition, such as motivation, ability, learning strategy, learning attitude, age, gender, etc. according to jakobovits survey, among th

25、ose elements, motivation accounts for 33%, ability 33%, intelligence 20%, others 14% (jakobovits, 1970). “motivation on foreign language learning is one of the most dynamic factors in individual factors of language learners (qin xiaojing, 2002). motivation, therefore, plays an important role in affe

26、cting foreign language acquisition.motivation is so important that many second language researchers have been researching on it in the last three decades. one of the most general and well known dimensions in motivation theory is intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. generally speaking, internal motiva

27、tion is regarded as a central motivator in the educational process. meanwhile, cognitive motivation theories, as a kind of theory laid more stress on the learners internal thoughts, beliefs and emotions rather than the external environment, are emphasized in this paper. in the 1990s, the hungarian s

28、cholar dornyei puts forward a comprehensive theory of motivation. this theoretical framework divides all the motivation components into three levelsthe level of language, the level of learners, the level of learning situation. dornyeis theory illustrates that learning motivation of foreign language

29、is not only related to the learning subject (learners), but also related to the learning object( target language) and learning situations. for the first time, he combines the motivation studies with language teaching and learning closely, providing a theoretical base for inspiring students learning

33、ories of motivationin this section, the author illustrates some basic conception, including definition and classification of motivation and analyzes some closely relevant motivation theories which are applied in the methods to inspire and motivate students learning motivation.2.1 the definition of m

34、otivationthe study of motivation is a prominent area both in the fields of psychology and education. before we conclude those methods for english teachers for stimulating students foreign language learning, the author believes it is essential to illustrate that what motivation is. according to gardn

35、er, motivation refers to the combination of effort plus desire to achieve the goal of learning the language. (gardner,1985). his theory about foreign language learning motivation is regarded as starting point for other researches.brophy put forward a definition that “motivation is a theoretical cons

36、truct used to explain the initiation, direction, intensity, and persistence of behavior, especially goal-directed behavior” (brophy, 1998)another definition made by pintrich and schunk suggests: “motivation is the process whereby goal-directed activity is instigated and sustained”. “motivation is a

37、process rather than a product. as a process, we do not observe motivation directly but we infer it from such behaviors as a choice of tasks, efforts, persistence, or verbalization” (pintrich & schunk , 1996). simply speaking, motivation is the learners direct inner drive to guide and stir person

38、al behavior, and excite personal efforts to achieve goal. as du fuxing(2003) summarizes, motivation is a state of cognitive and emotional arousal which may produce a conscious decision to act, and it needs a period of sustained intellectual and/or physical effort in order to attain a previously set

39、goals. thus in authors opinion, teachers should be aware of different kinds of internal factors and external factors, and how they have influence on learning behaviors, and what kind of factor would be more likely to arouse learner interest and promote learners autonomy so as to achieve learning goa

40、ls.2.2 classification of motivationaccording to learning goals and needs, four major kinds of motivations have been identified: integrative and instrumental motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. instrumental and integrative motivationone of the best-known and historically important studies

41、 of motivation in second language learning is that of robert gardnder and wallace lambert (1972). they made extensive studies on foreign language learners in canada, several parts of united states and the philippines, and classified two types of motivation: instrumental and integrative motivation.it

42、 is thought that students who are successful english learners are those who like the people that speak the language, admire the culture and have a desire to become familiar with or even integrate in to the society in which the language is used(falk, 1978). yet the instrumental motivation is the moti

43、vation of the learner to learn a language for some external goals or pragmatic reasons. according to gardner & lambert (1959), it is instrumental motivation that pushes learners to pursue the actual values and advantage of a target language. they try their best to acquire a language for some fun

44、ctional reasons: to pass an examination, to read and translate the news or books, to watch foreign films, to go abroad, to get a better job, or to get more opportunities on their career and so on. undoubtedly, the instrumental motivation has something to do with the practical value for language lear

45、ners. while both integrative and instrumental motivation is essential elements of success, it is integrative motivation that has been found to sustain long term effort when learning a second language (tayor, meynard and rheault 1997). in some of early researches conducted by garnder and lambert inte

46、grative motivation was viewed as being of more importance in a formal learning environment than instrumental motivation (ellis 1997). those can support that an integrative approach to language study is usually more highly motivated and overall more successful in language learning. intrinsic and extr

47、insic motivation another dimension of motivation is the classification of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (deci, 1975; deci & ryan, 1985). edward deci (1975) defined intrinsic motivation:intrinsically motivated activities are ones in which there is no apparent reward except the activity itsel

48、f. people seem to engage in the activities for their own sake and not because they lead to an extrinsic reward. intrinsic motivation originates from the learners interest in language learning, and the learning behavior is the result of voluntary. with the intrinsic motivation, people are more willin

49、g to meet challenges.extrinsic motivation is derived from external influences. the learners want to obtain some external rewards (e.g. high marks, rewards or positive feedback) or to avoid punishment. more simply, intrinsic motivation is “i want to learn.” while ex

50、trinsic motivation is “i am forced to learn”. later studies found that when combing extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation together, it will help to consolidate the effect of intrinsic motivation. 2.3 attribution theoryattribution is a concept in social psychology addressing the processes by

51、which individuals explain the causes of behavior and events. psychology research of attribution began with the work of fritz heider in the early part of the 20th. century, which was subsequently developed by others such as harold kelly and bernard weiner. weiner is the representative of success-fail

52、 attribution theory. weiner proposed that ability, effort, the difficulty of task and luck are the most vital factors influencing attributions for the learners achievements. at the same time, he divides these factors into three dimensions: firstly, internal attribution and external attribution; seco

53、ndly, stable attribution and unstable attribution; thirdly, controllable attribution and uncontrollable attribution. as the dimension divides, ability is regarded as internal and stable; task difficulty is regarded as external and stable; effort is perceived as internal changeable and learner-contro

54、lled; luck is external, changeable and not learner-controlled.2.4 self-efficacy theoryalbert bandura is the first to put forward the concept of self-efficacy theory. the so-called self-efficacy means a subjective judgment on whether the learner can perform an action successfully or not. if the learn

55、er has a strong sense of self-efficacy, it is easier for them to attain the success, because the strong sense of self-efficacy will produce the strong belief that they can succeed in the foreign language learning, and learners will have more confidences and more persistence in the process of achievi

56、ng the learning tasks.there are four factors that influence the self-efficacy. firstly, it is direct experience. the learners direct experience exerts the most powerful influence on his or her self-efficacy. generally speaking, successful experiences may promote learners self-efficacy. adversely, a

57、great deal of frustrated experiences may diminish learners self-efficacy. secondly, it is substitute experience. the learner gets the indirect experience by observing others performances. thirdly, it is verbal persuading. this way enhances the learners self-efficacy through advice, suggestion and persuading, but this way is hard to last for a long time. fourthly, it is emotional arousing. the emotion along with physical condition may affect learners self-efficacy.2.5 dörnyeis three-level categorizationthe first explicit attention t
