Abstract

Motivation plays one of the main roles in teaching a foreign language. Students of non-linguistic specialties are most often poorly motivated to study a foreign language, believing that they will not face the need to apply knowledge in the field of study or in real life. It’s all about the special specifics of the subject, which requires the student to have a certain base and communication skills. It is difficult for students to be motivated in learning a foreign language in a non-linguistic environment where there is no need for daily communication in English. The article studies the types of motivation, monitoring and a brief analysis of the level of motivation of 2nd year students, determined through a questionnaire, methodological recommendations for increasing the level of motivation. As a result of the study, it is proved that the external level of motivation of 2nd year students prevails, which prevents them from fully realizing their potential in learning English, answers to the following research questions were obtained: what is the attitude of students to English and its study and what factors influence the motivation of students.
