Abstract. In the modern society, in the era of European integration processes, the status of a foreign language as a subject is changing. Taking into account the increasing interest to a foreign language as a means of communication, the modern methodology focuses on achieving higher results. One of the key elements of the language learning is the motivation of students to study this subject.
Accordingly, the purpose of the publication is to summarize the constituent elements of motivation while learning English. It has been established that the motivational aspect is crucial for the activation of all psychological processes of intellectual activity: thinking, perception of information, understanding and analyzing of knowledge, learning the material, developing dialogical and monological speaking. The reasons for students’ high motivation to dialogical speaking (communication on various topics, a large number of creative tasks that make the classes interesting) are identified. It has been found that the creation of positive motivation to learn a foreign language is facilitated by the creation of psychological comfort during the organization of the educational process (atmosphere of good will in class, hand-holding to students, conversations on interesting and modern topics). Based on the analysis of scientific literature, several approaches to the teaching a foreign language (behavioral, inductive and conscious, cognitive, integrated) can be distinguished.
