There are numerous studies that have highlighted a direct link between the methods of L2 learning and intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in the English learning process. Research indicate high levels of anxiety have a negative relation to achievements and accomplishments in the field of academics and they link these closely to the level of motivation that a person has in his pursuit to learn English as a second language. According to some researchers, self-efficacy of the motivation to learn plays a pivotal role and learning motivation is largely dependent on individual profits that can be gained from the effort (Noels, 2001, p. 107-144). Apart from this, extensive studies and research have also been conducted on how important the link is between the methods of learning English as a second language and the level of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to learn. Even though certain studies have discovered a strong positive underlying link between anxiety and facilitations in the learning English as a second language, a majority of studies highlight the debilitating effects associated with it. Research helps this thought that preparation scholars to utilize L2 courses can encourage them to be better language learners. According to Schunk & Zimmerman (2012), there is an underlying link between intrinsic motivation and self-regulated learning. For example, they explain that the relative salience of rewards determines the level of motivation of the learner (Schunk & Zimmerman, 2012, p. 16). Extensive studies carried out by Ryan & Deci (2000) have also pointed to similar results and these highlight the link between consciousness of L2 learners and methods used.
Discussion
There have been numerous studies that have examined the relation between L2 learning strategies for students studying English as a second language and the level of motivation, both intrinsic as well as intrinsic, that the students have in learning the language. There are a wide range of factors that influence the learning environment for ESL students while the factors affecting the level of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation of the students are also numerous. Therefore, there is a need to determine whether a concrete relation can be established between L2 learning strategies and intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. It is important to first learn the concept of studying methods. Studying methods are techniques, utilized by learners, to verify that their language studying encounters are efficacious. In this regard, a lot of emphasis has been placed on the self-efficacy of learning motivation and particular stress is given to intrinsic motivation (Oelmu¨ller, 2007, p. 3). Distinctive studies embrace distinctive conducts or methodologies to study another language. A few learners who are exceptionally weak study a second language through language structure drills and sentence dissection. They do the practice to the extent that they can in the event of disengagement.
In a similar manner, numerous studies have also been conducted on strategic development and motivation among learners. The studies explore reading and instructional contexts which increase long-term development and maintain the motivation level of the learners ...
