Abstract

Students’ success in learning a foreign language in general and English in particular can be affected by numerous factors, in which motivation is an important element that should not be neglected. Lack of motivation in language learning leads to students’ frustration in English classrooms and affects their learning performance and outcomes. The aim of this paper is to review and discuss different types of motivation and factors affecting students’ motivation in ELF classrooms. Once the factors have been identified, some solutions are recommended to both teachers and students in order to stimulate students’ motivation in learning English.
