Integrative Versus Instrumental Motivation: Despite the fact that both kinds of motivation are essential elements
of success in learning L2, much debate and controversy among researchers and educators have been taking place
about which, kind of motivation is more important L2 learners. For a long time, integrative motivation was regarded as superior to instrumental motivation for predicting the success of second language learning. Because if students respecte the target culture, they may read literature or practice the language and thereby be able to improve their language skills. From another perspective, instrumental motivation is meaningful for the learner who has had limited access to the L2 culture, or
foreign language settings.
