Students who have strong learning motivation take a correct and positive attitude towards study and make great efforts to master English with clear goal and desire and consequently gain better grade than those who haven’t acquired motivation and those students usually regard English learning as a heavy and boring burden. Motivation refers to driving force in any situation.
     2.2 Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation
"Motivation can be divided into many types, but the main broad categories are intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is a response to needs that exist within the learner, such as curiosity, the need to know, and feelings of competence or growth."(Paul Eggen & Don Kauchak, 1994:428). "It exists when someone works because of an inner desire to accomplish a task successfully, whether it has some external value or not." (Cheryl L. Spaulding, 1992: 4).

     According to Noels(2001:46-48),three types of extrinsic orientations have been identified, and they vary in the extent to which they have been internalized and integrated into the person's self-concept.
 (1)External Regulation is the least self-determined type of extrinsic orientation. Students who are externally regulated are learning the L2 because of some contingency in the environment, such as the possibility of attaining a reward, because of a course requirement, or in order to avoid losing a job.
