This chapter explains the findings of the research. In order to find out the perceptions
of both student-teachers and the lecturers of the motivational strategies used in
teaching English in the foreign language classroom, data from individual interviews
and focus-group discussions was collected. Data sources were semi-structured
interviews with individual interviewees (EFL lecturers) and focus group discussions
(student-teachers) as described in the Chapter 3. The participants are quoted in the
following form: lecturer A for an EFL lecturer and S1FG2 for student one in focus
group 2. Three main themes emerged from the data: strategies that influence
relationship between the student-teachers and EFL lecturers, general teaching
methods and strategies, and challenges and problems related to the implementation
of the motivational teaching strategies faced by the EFL lecturers.
