In this article I wrote about observing students’ language acquisition process and their source of motivation. I tried to research how the kinds of motivation influence language learning. Many researches were conducted on the significance if motivation but I can add to this that the amount, range, and type of motivation, starting age learning language and personality have important and determining role in the learning process. Moreover, the language teacher has a significant function and role in giving motivation to the learner for learning language.
