Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the literature on motivation in foreign language learning. It aims to propose strategies for teachers to motivate learners participate actively to the classroom learning activities, in order, to stimulate learners to take their learning more seriously and to raise teachers´ awareness on the importance of motivating the learners in the classroom. Based on that, it is widely believed that among other individual differences in foreign language learning (personality, aptitude, learning style…) motivation is a complex phenomenon to deal with. Because when people have the desire to learn a language they engage in a community more effectively. Also, they feel more secure. Moreover, it synthesizes the conclusion draw from the literature on motivation conducted to identify appropriate strategies to be used by teachers in their classroom.
