CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Integrative motivation as defined by Brown’s (1994) is where learners have the desire to integrate into the target language community, culture and become part of that society. Learners learn the second language because they wish to socialise or participate in the target language group (Saville, 2006).

Detailed explanation-2: -Based on Gardner’s socio-educational model, integrative motivation overlaps with the concept of intrinsic motivation. As Noels, Clement, and Pelletier (1999) have pointed out, intrinsic and integrative motivation both refer to “positive attitudes toward the learning situation and the learning process” (p. 31).

Detailed explanation-3: -Despite being extrinsic, integrated motivation shares many similar qualities as intrinsic motivation and is the best type of extrinsic motivation. Some researchers even refer to integrated regulation as intrinsic because the person has completely internalized the extrinsic cause into their values.
