Abstract

Motivation factors are regarded as one of the most important parts in learning English, especially speaking skill. A positive motivation factor not only helps students have a good performance in learning English but also improves their speaking skill. Accordingly, this thesis concentrates on investigating the factors influencing third year English-major students’ motivation to speak English in English classes at Hai Phong Private University and gives some suggestions for enhancing the positive factors and reducing the negative ones.
