1. MOTIVATION AND ATTITUDE

2. What does motivation means? Motivation is the encouragement that drives a person to perform certain actions and persist in them toward a goal. This term is related to the desire and the interest. There are two different types of motivation: intrinsic and extrinsic.

3. What does attitude means? Attitude is the modus operandi of a person, the behavior that an individual uses to do things. Attitude can be considered a form of motivation.

4. Is motivation a foreign language or an instrument to attain goals, position and status? There are many reasons for studying a foreign language. These reasons change from person to person. Some of them are: motivation, to attain goals, position and status, among other.

5. Motivation is a powerful reason that drives people to study English. In my opinion, when someone is studying English or other language for motivation is easier learning it. For example, there are people who study a second foreign language to learn new things, to improve or develop themselves as a person. People who love learning new thing without any future perspective, just because they love the feeling of dominate something new. Learning a new language can also make your brain work better and fast.

6. As for the position and status, there are many people who use the study of foreign languages ​​for higher social position. This is because the knowledge of foreign languages ​​can give people more opportunities to find employment or increased recognition in the social field. Today, the amount of people who are studying English have been increased due to the economical crisis, they try to improve their skills and qualifications in order to obtain a job or a better one. So, they are also move for motivation: motivation to reach a job.

7. After that, we can see that there are different reasons to make people study a foreign languages but in my opinion the reasons is not the most important aspect otherwise the most important is do it.

8. What is your personal opinion about attitude and motivation? From my point of view motivation and attitude are very important in all aspects of daily life. We need the motivation and the attitude to do something but when we talk about education, attitude and motivation become into a great important aspect. As it has been demonstrated for years, learning is not simply a matter of intelligence but also attitude and motivation.

9. If a student is motivated by the subject being studied (in this case English) that student will aim or goal to command the language. This is the main point. The lack of motivation makes complicated the task of the teacher. Also it is said that the lack of motivation by students is sometimes out of teacher control.

10. Nowadays, children increasingly show less motivation to study and this affects the achievement of the objectives. In my opinion, the motivation in the learning environment is very important because it helps to form habits, techniques, methods of study and learning strategies in students and this is essential in order to obtain good results.

11. I believe that there is no learning without motivation. Therefore, we, as a teacher, form a very important part of the motivation in our students. We must raise the interest of students towards learning but it isn't easy. For do this, a fundamental aspect is that teacher should to know how to motivate to students successfully. At the same time, teachers should ensure that students have a positive attitude toward learning. It is important that teachers work on it.

12. I think teachers should not only motivate students in order to get better grades but to understand that learning is based on their personality and to learn a second language can be very helpful in the future. To do this the teacher must know how to organize the activity, the type and form of interaction, the resources, the messages showed to students and evaluation are very important factors to promote students' motivation.

13. In the case of a second foreign language, I think the teacher should encourage students pointing out that the language can be a useful instrument for communication. On the other hand, the attitude that students submit to learning is also an aspect to consider because without interest is not possible to achieve the objectives.

14. In conclusion, it is difficult to learn a second language but with a positive attitude anything is possible.
