It has often been said by people involved in language teaching that a student who really wants to learn will succeed in whatever circumstances under which he studies. It is certainly true that students do learn in unfavorable conditions, and it is also true that students often succeed in using methods that experts have considered unsatisfactory. All teachers can think of some students who are significantly better than their peers, and it seems reasonable to suggest that the motivation of the student is perhaps the single most important thing that he brings to the classroom.
Motivation is some kind of internal drive that encourages somebody to pursue a course of action. It seems to be the case that if we perceive a goal and if that goal is sufficiently attractive, we will be strongly motivated to do whatever is necessary to reach that goal. Language learners who are motivated also perceive goals of various types, and here we might immediately make a distinction between sho

From what has been said, it must be clear that no one can
make very positive statements about how language originated.
There is no material in any language today and in the earliest(1)
records of ancient languages show us language in a new and (2)
emerging state. It is often said, of course, that the language (3)
originated in cries of anger, fear, pain and pleasure, and the(4)
necessary evidence is entirely lacking: there are no remote
tribes, no ancient records, providing evidence of a
language with a large proportion of such cries (5)
than we find in English. it is true that the absenceof such
evidence does not disprove the theory, but in(6)
other grounds too the theory is not very attractive.
People of all races and languages make rather similar
noises in return to pain or pleasure. The fact that(7)
such noises are similar on the lips of Frenchmen and
