Joseph Román University of Puerto Rico in Humacao English Department Abstract This research is guided to learn if the students of the Isidro Sánchez High School in Luquillo, Puerto Rico are getting the correct motivation to learn English as a second language (ESL). The literature review reveals that there is three types of motivation. This three types are the intrinsic, extrinsic and amotivation. Experts debate on the fact that family is one of the things that affect the motivation of students the most. I created a survey using the AMS as a sample with a total of 9 items addressing the 3 types of motivation. The results revealed that 100% of the students were affected by extrinsic motivation. The survey also revealed that even though is not the 100%, 57 out of the 63 answers about intrinsic motivation were positive. I conclude that there is not a “correct” type of motivation to learn ESL. Also I learn that amotivation is a negative type of motivation and should never be used. Extrinsic or intrinsic motivation is going to be good motivation as long as the impact is a positive one. I recommend teachers to use positive extrinsic motivation and foment the use of intrinsic motivation in students to achieve their ESL learning goals. Motivation Types Deci & Ryan ( 1990 - 2002 ) Intrinsic:deals with the self- motivation the person has on achieving his goal . Extrinsic: deals with the motivation received from external variables such as grades, recognition or appraising. Amotivation: This is characterized by a person that isn’t motivated Literature Review

Inorder to certainly know what type of
motivation the students at the high school level are getting I’m going to conduct a survey. The survey will be given to random students of the Isidro Sánchez High School in Luquillo, Puerto Rico. Survey.pdf Findings Findings Recomendations This research could be a tool to help teachers fulfill their student’s motivation and achieve ESL learning. A student varies one from another and also will their learning styles. This means that motivation will help the teacher make the student interested in learning regarding of their learning style. I think that in this century student’s are affected by so many different things that is difficult for the teacher to try to understand and fulfill all his/her student needs. I recommend teachers to use positive extrinsic motivation and foment the use of intrinsic motivation in students to achieve their ESL learning goals. The information recollected from this research will serve the teacher as a stepping stone in the way to success!
