Absztrakt

On the basis of a small-scale study I will make an attempt to find out what factors motivate 14- and 18- year-old Hungarian students in learning English. In the first part of the thesis I will present a few theories of motivation set up by well-known linguists in the field of second language acquisition including Deci, Ryan, Dörnyei, Ottó, Edmondson, Keller, Gardner and Bandura. I will present a few relevant studies as well. In the second part of my thesis I will state the reason for my choice of the subject, set up my hypotheses concerning the results of my research and introduce the four schools of my choice as well. The main part of my thesis is concerned with the analysis of the collected data. In the conclusion I will summarize the main findings.
