【 摘 要 】

In this article we discuss some extrinsic factors that impact students' motivation to learn foreign languages. These factors, attitude, goals and efforts were studies and analyzed by many researchers. Taha [8], Huang [6], Csizer and Dornyei [2], noted that attitudes toward the language community, native speakers and the language itself are important factors in the learning process. These factors enable creation of a positive attitude and tolerance and understanding of cultural, religious, and societal differences. Hidi and Harackiewicz [5] and Schunk [5] discussed the influence of mastery and performance goals on academic motivation. They emphasized that only attractive and realistic goals can motivate people to act. Csizer and Dornyei [2], Schunk [5] considered effort as one of criterion measures to examine motivational factors that determine direction and magnitude of motivated human behavior.
