Abstract |
|
|
| The main aim of the program of (Khabrat) or experts of Saudi Arabia is transferring foreign experiences to Saudi Arabia for developing education and learning. For me as an expert sent to NewZealand, I am doing this study to show the challenges and problems facing learning and teaching foreign languages in Saudi Arabia and trying to overcome them using what I had seen and studied in NewZealand concerning learning foreign languages. To me, motivation is the main obstacle stands against teachers and learners in Saudi Arabia. This leads me to study motivation and analyze its main parts and components. Also, I am trying to compare learning and teaching foreign languages in both Saudi Arabia and NewZealand. I studied Tawa college in NewZealand to benefit from teaching foreign languages there trying to convey their strengths to teaching foreign languages in Saudi Arabia mainly coping with the problem of motivation and matching the 2030 Vision.
The main thing I focus on is the quality not the quantity and enhancing the intrinsic side of motivation more than the extrinsic side, which means creating desires and need to learn a foreign language. This project examined the role of motivation in language learning through reviewing some of the most considerable studies and research in this field and questionnaire in this project. Motivation is a fundamental key in the development of language skills and learning. Teachers must help students to research the areas where they do not expect it. I collected data via the questionnaire, the interview and observation. The conclusions drawn are to be benefited from in Saudi Arabia.
