Creating and developing of students’ motivation in process of foreign language studying

Abstract

The article is devoted to identifying the main notion of motivation – internal and external. Moreover, we investigate the ways to increase students' motivation in process of foreign language learning with the help of game techniques or remote technologies. The recent global changes have completely changed the established way of social life and greatly influenced educational sphere. Education is one of the areas that had changed crucially and the main task to introduce innovative technologies appeared. All over the world we could notice the problem of “flexibility” of education and distant technologies implementation that could help to improve the educational processes. Consequently, another problem appeared: to motivate students in process of distance learning to achieve effective results. The problem of students’ motivation is one of the most important today as motivation is force itself and it influences the formation of individual behavior, aims and activities of every student. In this article we study motivational objects which can help to control the implementation of intentions and to choose new techniques and strategies for motivation. We note the importance of motivation in foreign language studying individually and in groups as well as in distance learning and in institutions. The concept of "distance learning" is defined as involving the integration of information and pedagogical technologies to ensure the interactivity of teacher-student interaction and thus the productivity of the educational process. It is determined that motivation is key element in language learning. Internal motivation is about doing a task because it is fun, not good or bad. External motivation is caused by external factors, such as meeting the expectations of the teacher or assessment with good grades. We carry out a short analysis of modern information technologies such as programs, applications used in the educational process to increase the level of students’ motivation in the process of foreign languages learning. We also research the teacher's role in this process, his/her ability to organize the learning process, to create a positive atmosphere of communication.
