Integrative Motivation
Integrative motivation refers to a desire to interact effectively with native speakers of the new
language in many situations: academic, social, in the workplace, and so on. Integratively
motivated students display positive attitudes towards speakers of the target language, ask
questions about the language, read English books on their own, seek opportunities to use English
with peers and adults, have friends who are native English speakers, and are interested in
learning the latest English phrases and jokes.
To develop integrative motivation, learners must have positive experiences with native
speakers. They must feel welcomed, included, and respected. You can make this happen by
providing structured opportunities for students to make cross-cultural connections and
friendships (e.g., organizing cooperative leaning groups and helping student become involved in
extracurricular activities). Integrative motivation is also enhanced by involving students in a
wide variety of language experiences beyond the school in other institutional settings and in
the community and by demonstrating respect and support for all languages and for second
language learners in the classroom and in the school. (173 words)
