The external motives caused by circumstances can strengthen internal motivation, but they haven’t a direct bearing on the contents and process of training. According to psychological researches of motivation and interest when training a foreign language of effort of the teacher have to be aimed at the development of internal motivation of students which proceeds from the activity and possesses the greatest incentive force.
