- Motivation is one of the main factors determining an individual’s success in learning

a second or foreign language.

countries around the world, large numbers of students are being required to learn it

through compulsory programs at schools and universities.

Vietnam, many students do not seem to have interest in learning English, or in other

words, they are quite de-motivated.
