English is one of the most important and most widely spoken languages, as it allows the creation of opportunities to advance in different academic and professional fields. However, learning and practicing the English language is a problem because students are not motivated to learn the language. For this reason, students require motivation to be successful in learning. Therefore, the role of motivation plays a very significant role in the acquisition and learning of a foreign language. Consequently, motivation is essential to adequately train a second language learner above other practice. The main objective to develop this research is to analyze the motivation of the learning process of English language students. The study used the quantitative research approach because it allows describing, explaining, and predicting phenomena by means of numerical data presented by each of the students according to the difficulty posed. It is worth mentioning that the research had a descriptive character because the research is oriented to the observation and determination of some characteristics, the same that arose from the observation technique of pre-professional practices. Therefore, the information was collected through a questionnaire, which is a set of questions elaborated from Gardner's theory (Test Battery). The results showed that the fourth semester students of the pedagogical career of national and foreign languages of the Technical University of Cotopaxi have extrinsic motivation, since the survey revealed that students study English to have better job opportunities. As for the intensity of motivation, the survey revealed that students have a high intensity of motivation that is because the teacher has a dynamic and interesting teaching style, and in this way, learners will be interested in learning the language. Also, the results on attitude indicated that students have a positive attitude because they like to read books, listen to music in English, etc. Finally, the findings on anxiety showed that the students have a moderate anxiety because they feel nervous when someone asks them something in English. Finally, it is concluded that motivation is one of the most important elements that teachers must take into account in the process of teaching a second language because the teacher must motivate his students to achieve greater involvement from them and participation in the classroom. |
