Motivation can be defined as an internal state or condition of need, impulse, or desire that initiates,directs, and maintains a learnerûs behavior to move to a particular performance (Brown, 1994). Based on Brownûs study (2000), motivation can be viewed from both learner and language learning perspectives.In terms of learner aspects, motivation can be intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic motivation refers to a learnerûs desire to learn a foreign language for personal reasons due to feelings of competence and self-determination when s/he is free to choose to perform a learning task.
