Abstract

Motivation for second language acquisition (SLA) is one of the key topics in language acquisition. Researchers have found that intrinsic factors positively impact motivation in second language learners. However, there needs to be more widespread knowledge of the positive impact of external factors on motivation in SLA. Therefore, this paper combines several dimensions in a comprehensive analysis, dissecting the factors related to motivation for SLA from various directions. In addition, the paper contextualizes the positive role of modern technology for secondaries in a contemporary and forward-looking manner. It also takes complete account of realistic factors concerning both the generation and maintenance of motivation and highlights, in particular, the importance of the achievability of motivation for its maintenance. The study eventually finds that the environment positively influences motivation for SLA. Geographical and cultural factors are prime movers for SLA, and economic conditions, educational tools, and the availability of resources reinforce the maintenance of motivation for SLA.
