THE GENESIS AND TRANSFORMATION OF MOTIVATIONAL DETERMINANTS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article examines the mechanisms that stimulate intercultural interaction, based on the perception of foreign cultural elements during foreign language learning, as well as their analysis through sociohistorical facts, considering the evolving role of a foreign language—from a tool for immediate communication in the distant past to an essential component of professional identity in today’s globalized world. Unlike traditional approaches that focus primarily on how to improve foreign language teaching effectiveness, this article fundamentally redefines the importance of cultivating motivation for learning. The authors treat the challenge of effective language acquisition as a multifaceted construct, where motivation plays a crucial role. The study demonstrates that professionally oriented language instruction inherently allows for a focus on specific teaching methods and techniques, precisely because learners already possess the necessary motivational foundation.
