TEXT I – The Role of Motivation in Learning English as a Second Language
Learning English as a second language can be a long and challenging process. Students often face difficulties such as unfamiliar grammar rules, pronunciation differences, and vocabulary gaps. However, one factor that significantly affects success in learning is motivation. Motivated students tend to participate more actively in class, complete assignments, and practice the language outside the classroom.
There are two main types of motivation: intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic motivation comes from the student’s internal desire to learn, such as personal interest in English culture or the joy of learning new languages. On the other hand, extrinsic motivation is related to external rewards, like passing an exam, getting a job promotion, or meeting school requirements. Both types of motivation play an important role in language learning.
Teachers can use different strategies to increase student motivation. One effective method is to create engaging and meaningful activities. For example, using real-life situations like roleplays, interviews, or debates can make students feel that what they are learning is useful and relevant. Also, providing positive feedback and celebrating small achievements helps build student confidence and encourages continuous effort.
Another essential factor is setting realistic goals. When students see progress over time, such as learning a certain number of new words per week or being able to hold a short conversation, they feel more motivated to continue. Clear and achievable targets make the learning process less overwhelming and more enjoyable.
Finally, it is important for teachers to understand the individual needs and interests of their students. Adapting lessons to include topics that students enjoy, such as music, movies, or travel, can make classes more dynamic and inspiring. Motivation is not something fixed; it can grow with the right teaching approach and a supportive classroom environment.
According to the text, why is it important to set realistic goals for ESL students?

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

I see trees of green, red roses too

I see them bloom for me and you

And I think to myself: What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white

The bright blessed days, the dark sacred night

And I think to myself: What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces of people going by

I see friends shaking hands, saying: How do you do?

They're really saying: I love you!

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow

They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know

And I think to myself:

What a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself: What a wonderful world

The song's message is:

In the literature on language learning, one particular process has commonly been singled out for explication: transfer. The term describes the carryover of previous performance or knowledge to subsequent learning. Positive transfer occurs when the prior knowledge benefits the learning task; negative transfer, or interference, occurs when previous performance disrupts the performance of a second task.
It has been common in second language teaching to stress the role of interference. This is of course not surprising, as native language interference is surely the most immediately noticeable source of error among second language learners. The saliency of interference is strong. For example, a French native speaker might say in English, “I am in New York since January,” a perfectly logical transfer of the French sentence “Je suis a New York depuis Janvier.” Because of the negative transfer of the French verb form to English, the French system has, in this case, interfered with the person’s production of a correct English form.
It is exceedingly important to remember, however, that the native language of a second language learner is often positively transferred, in which case the learner benefits from the facilitating effects of the first language. In the above sentence, for example, the correct one-to-one word order correspondence, the personal pronoun, and the preposition have been positively transferred from French to English. We often mistakenly overlook the facilitating effects of the native language in our appetite for analyzing errors in the second language and for overstressing the interfering effects of the first language.
