Volume5, Issue 1, 2020P-ISSN: 2672-2984E-ISSN: 2672-2992www.sajst.org
In their research, Rica Mae R. Untalan and Vladimir Marie E. Cabutotan explore how students' interest in learning (intrinsic motivation) and external factors like rewards or punishments (extrinsic motivation) affect their English language skills and grades. They find that when students enjoy learning, they do better in language acquisition and overall academics. The study emphasizes the importance of nurturing this natural interest to enhance learning.
By understanding the balance between these motivators, the research offers useful insights for teachers. It suggests that when students genuinely enjoy what they're learning, they perform better. The study highlights the need for teaching methods that encourage this intrinsic motivation, making learning more engaging and effective. Ultimately, the research underscores the significance of creating enjoyable learning experiences to help students excel in English language learning and improve their overall academic performance.
