Motivation is some kind of internal drive that encourages somebody to pursue a course of action. It seems to be the case that if we perceive a goal and if that goal is sufficiently attractive. We will be strongly motivated to do whatever is necessary to reach that goal.

Long-term goals might have something to do with a student's wish to get a better job or become a member of the target language community Short-term goals might include such things as the urge to pass an end-of-term or end-of- semester exam or complete a unit successfully. It seems possible to suggest that a teacher will find a strongly motivated student with a long-term goal easier to teach than a student who has to study the language because it is on the curriculum and who does not have such a goal. For the latter type of student short-term goals will often be the source of any motivation he has.
