How a motivating environment fuels second language mastery [Articol]

Abstract

Creating a motivating environment is essential for thriving when learning a second language. Motivation, whether intrinsic or extrinsic, plays a pivotal role in language acquisition, influencing engagement, retention, and overall success. A supportive atmosphere—enriched with interactive activities, cultural exposure, and positive reinforcement— fosters confidence and encourages learners to take risks. Furthermore, social interactions, technology, and real-life applications enhance immersion, making the learning process more effective and enjoyable. This paper explores the impact of motivation on second language acquisition and highlights strategies to cultivate an environment that empowers learners to succeed.
