Motivação no curso de língua adicionais: a percepção e a aplicação no percorrer da aprendizagem

Abstract

Educational motivation or motivation to continue in a particular course can be a crucial point in the life of a college student, or by instigating his or her will to continue the course, or to suffer blockages due to a lack of motivation. In this sense, this work shows a summary analysis on the perception of the motivation factor, by students of the Additional Language Letters Course, of the Bagé campus, who were asked about the importance or not of this factor for studies and language learning (English and Spanish). The research is of qualitative scope and the data to constitute the corpus were collected through the accomplishment of individual and open interviews semi-structured. From the perception of the group of students who answered the interviews, showing whether or not there is the motivation factor during the course and how this factor can intervene in their learning, this work compiled and analyzed the data obtained. In this way, the work proposes a reflection about the possible interference of the motivation factor, in the process of learning the additional languages, reflecting on the possibility that are influences of intrinsic or extrinsic factors, such as, media influences or the geographic place (frontier) in this inclination to learn either one or the other or both languages.
