OVERCOMING MOTIVATION BARRIERS IN ESP LEARNERS
Main Article Content
Abstract:
Motivation is a key determinant of success in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses, yet learners often face barriers such as perceived irrelevance of course content, time constraints, and negative past experiences with language learning. This article explores these challenges and offers strategies to overcome them, emphasizing tailored course content, interactive activities, and the use of technology. Drawing on insights from scholars like Gardner, Dornyei, and Hutchinson, the discussion highlights the importance of needs analysis, authentic materials, and teacher support in fostering learner engagement. Practical examples and case studies illustrate how these strategies can transform ESP classrooms into dynamic, motivating environments that align with learners' professional goals.
