Essay aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Sprachwissenschaft / Sprachforschung (fachübergreifend), Note: B, University of Leicester, Veranstaltung: MA TESOL and Applied Linguistics, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Learners come into the language classroom with a vast array of differences that will effect their language acquisition, these differences determine their ability to acquire the target language. A major contributing factor is the amount of motivation that students have towards what they are learning. In Gardner's Social Education Model which studied the effects of motivation and learner aptitude in the Language Classroom, motivation is defined as being "the learners orientation with regards to the goal of learning a second language" (Norris-Holt 2001). Gardner's model identified two types of motivation: integral and instrumental, these different types of motivation will effect the individual learner in different ways and will in turn ultimately determine the success of acquisition.
