Abstract:  THE PRESENT STUDY EXPLORES THE CRITICAL ROLE OF MOTIVATION IN
ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING HIGHLIGHTING THE FACTORS THAT
CONTRIBUTE TO ITS CULTIVATION. MOTIVATION IN THE ENGLISH
CLASSROOM IS NOT MERELYABOUT LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY BUT EXTENDS
TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF CRITICAL THINKING, PROBLEM-SOLVING, AND A
LIFELONG LOVE FOR LEARNING.
THE RESULTS ARE STRENGTHENED BY A 12-ITEM QUESTIONNAIRE APPLIED
TO STUDENTS FROM THE FACULTY OF MEDICAL AND BEHAVIORAL
SCIENCES AND DISTRIBUTED BY THE FOLLOWING SPECIALIZATIONS:
KINESITHERAPY AND SPECIAL MOTRICITY, PHARMACY ASSISTANCE, AND
GENERAL MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.

MOTIVATED BY FUN ACTIVITIES AND GAMES, THE USE OF MULTIMEDIA
TOOLS, TEACHER'S ENCOURAGEMENT AND FEEDBACK AND SUGGESTED
THAT THEIR MOTIVATION MAY BE LARGELY INFLUENCED BY THE LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT, NOTABLY THE POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TEACHER
AND THE TYPES OF LEARNING ACTIVITIES EMPLOYED TO ACHIEVE THE
LEARNING AIMS.
