Study Notes

Motivation and Language Learning

The AMTB Attitude/Motivation Test Battery was originally developed to assess the attitudes and motivation of language learners.
Motivation is derived from the interaction between the individual and the environment.
According to Gardner, motivation for learning a language is the driving force that initiates and sustains language learning behavior.
For a student to be considered motivated, Gardner notes that three elements must be present: effort, desire, and positive attitudes towards the language and its speakers.
Positive motivation is characterized by a genuine interest in the language and its culture, and is driven by the desire to communicate with native speakers and to integrate into their community.
