Abstract

This theoretical study explores the impact of motivation on foreign language learning among university students. By examining theoretical models of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, this paper evaluates how psychological factors influence language acquisition. The findings show that intrinsic motivation and integrative goals play a decisive role in achieving long-term language fluency and academic engagement.
