The Role of Motivation in Enhancing Students’ English Speaking Skills at Secondary Level

Abstract

This research study is based on the role of motivation in enhancing students’ English speaking skill at intermediate level. The objectives of the research study are ‘to find out the trigger point like motivation which increase students’ speaking skills’ and ‘to find out the prominent factor of motivation in second language learning’. The research is conducted through the help of simple random sampling and the data was collected in the light of Dornyei’s framework (2005). The findings of the study reveals that students’ motivation is largely ignored at intermediate level. Furthermore, the researcher noticed that the intermediate level students’ motivations are generally based as extrinsic not intrinsic. Teacher’s role is mandatory for motivating students for encouraging them to speak English language. The recommendation is that future researchers can conduct their study on the vast area i.e., at Province level to get huge level data for the advancement of study.
