Role Of Motivational Factors In English Language Acquisition At Post-Secondary Education: An Experimental Investigation

Abstract

Motivation is a critical aspect in determining the effectiveness of English language acquisition in EFL contexts. To ensure that Students acquire language efficiently, it is critical to identify the variables that stimulate language acquisition. In Sothern Indian states like Andhra Pradesh, learning English language skills at the post-secondary level has become crucial, as students need to have a strong command of the English language in order to gain a professional employment and a position of prominence in society in the future. As a result, this research examines the phenomenon of Students' motivation in postsecondary English language acquisition. The purpose of this research is to determine if Students are integrative or instrumental in their motivations. Additionally, this research examines which types of motivation are most beneficial for Students. The data for this research is gathered by questionnaire from post-secondary students. The study's key result is that the majority of Students are strongly motivated in their pursuit of English at the post-secondary level. The majority of Students believe that integrative motivation is more successful than instrumental incentive in English language acquisition. However, a small percentage of Students are instrumentally motivated, which may be remedied by teaching them about integrative motivation's efficacy.
