Fostering Students’ Motivation To Write

Authors : Yahiaoui Habib .

Abstract

Despite decades of significant increase of motivational research on the one hand, and the remarkable development of writing studies, on the other, the topic of the intersection of the two fields has only been partially explored. In fact, studies on the motivational aspects of writing are scare because most motivation researchers have been focusing on students’ general orientation to learning as learning goals, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, expectancy, self efficacy rather than on students’ approach to specific disciplines. The present paper reflects on the learners’ difficulties in writing. It also proposes ways of enhancing the students’ motivation in this language skill.
