Abstract or Introduction
Learners come into the language classroom with a vast array of differences that will effect
their language acquisition, these differences determine their ability to acquire the target language. A
major contributing factor is the amount of motivation that students have towards what they are
learning. In Gardner's Social Education Model which studied the effects of motivation and learner
aptitude in the Language Classroom, motivation is defined as being "the learners orientation with
regards to the goal of learning a second language" (Norris-Holt 2001). Gardner's model identified
two types of motivation: integral and instrumental, these different types of motivation will effect the
individual learner in different ways and will in turn ultimately determine the success of acquisition.
