Abstract
Motivation plays an important role in one’s learning. When one is motivated, he/she will be moved to accomplish the task given to him/her efficiently. The studies on motivation in language learning have contributed a lot to the development of many theories on motivation. In addition, findings from previous research on motivation based on different theories are included in this paper. This paper also focuses on research done on motivation across nations. Recommendations given on how to help learners to be more motivated are also included.
