Abstract

The present research work entitled: THE MOTIVATION AND ITS INFLUENCE ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING WITH THE STUDENTS OF 8TH, 9TH AND 10TH YEARS OF BASIC EDUCATION AT EXPERIMENTAL “PALTAS” HIGH SCHOOL OF CATACOCHA CITY, ACADEMIC YEAR 2009-2010., has been made with the purpose of determining the influence of the motivation in the English language teaching learning process.

In the development of the work we have made use of the scientific method as a general one which has helped to find the true about the researched object. And as particular methods we used the descriptive to describe the data, the analytic-synthetic to analyze the results and the explicative to explain the phenomena and to elaborate the report.

In the field work we applied the instrument of the survey to the teachers and the students, to process the information we have used a logical analysis with descriptive statistics that helped us to describe the results in tables and graphs.

Among the main results of the research we found that the teachers do not apply positive motivation in class to encourage the students to learn the English language. They do not use factors of positive motivation neither they congratulate the students’ well-done tasks. Most of teachers use coercive means to force students’ fulfillment of homework or study for lessons for that reason the students’ learning is placed in a regular level.

Therefore, in the researched institution we have found that there are serious trouble with the teachers and students because of the lack of positive motivation which is affecting the English language learning. As a result we have been able to prove that motivation influence in the learning of the students in the researched High School.
