STRATEGIES TO ENHANCE STUDENTS' MOTIVATION IN LANGUAGE LEARNING

This paper examines strategies that can be employed to enhance students’ motivation in learning foreign languages. Motivation plays a central role in the success of language acquisition, influencing learners’ persistence, effort, and overall achievement. Drawing from motivational theories and classroom practices, this study identifies effective strategies such as gamification, task-based learning, collaborative approaches, integration of technology, the use of culturally relevant materials, and constructive teacher feedback. The paper concludes that teachers must employ a balanced combination of these strategies to foster a supportive and engaging learning environment.
