THE FORMATION OF THE MOTIVATION TO STUDY A FOREIGN LANGUAGE OF THE STUDENTS OF TECHNICAL HIGHER EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENTS

Abstract

In the article the conditions of the formation of the motivation to study a foreign language of the students of technical higher education establishments and the basic kinds of motivation are considered. The topicality of the research is doubtless. Though the necessity to know a foreign language and its importance for the specialists of various spheres of activity are well understood, the graduates of non-linguistic higher educational establishments have difficulties while mastering a foreign language. One of the reasons explaining this phenomenon is the low motivation to study a foreign language.
