According to Macintyre et al. (2001), motivation is defined as an attribute of the individual that describes the psychological qualities that underlie behavior related to a particular task. In some learning situations, many learners' reason for learning a foreign language is not interest in the culture and target language community, but interest in learning tasks. Learner motivation is increasingly recognized as one of the most important determinants of success in learning English.

Reece & Walker (1997) state that “motivation is a key factor in the learning process of a second language”. According to Nation (1990) and Taylor (1990), knowing a word involves not knowing the spelling, morphology, pronunciation, meaning, or equivalent of the word in the learner's native language, but also knowing its collocations, register, polysemy and even its meaning. are homonym. It is one of the important factors in learning English, along with the sound system, grammar and culture.

They must know the grammatical function, the unpredictable change of form in certain contexts or some unique ways of connecting with other words in sentences, regularity and irregularity, singular and plural forms of new words. A person's auditory vocabulary is all the words they can recognize when listening to speech. Reading Vocabulary: Reading vocabulary consists of words in print that we recognize or can figure out.

Most motivation theorists assume that motivation is involved in the execution of all learned responses; that is, a learned behavior will not occur unless it is activated. Therefore, motivation is one of the most important determinants of success in learning a foreign language or a second language. Reece & Walker (1997) state that “motivation is a key factor in the learning process of a second language”.

In the literature, so far there have been so few studies of the factors that influence students' motivation to learn vocabulary in a foreign language. Personality: The students' personality is a major factor that contributes to success or failure in language learning. According to Reza (2005), personality is one of the individual differences that is widely established to have an outcome on learning in general and second language acquisition in particular.

One of the reasons that many students learn a foreign language is that they find learning activities interesting. A large part of learning foreign languages ​​and second languages ​​occurs through the interaction between the teacher and the students.

One of the factors that significantly influences the creation of positive motivation in vocabulary learning is the environmental factor.

Eight students (20%) were interested in learning vocabulary effectively if they were provided with good learning facilities.

According to the table, it is clear that students wanted their teacher to do quite a few things to help motivate them to learn new words.
