18. What does the research onmotivation tell us? • The research on motivation defines motivation as an orientation toward a goal. (This orientation may be positive, negative, or ambivalent.) • Motivation provides a source of energy that is responsible for why learners decide to make an effort, how long they are willing to sustain an activity, how hard they are going to pursue it, and how connected they feel to the activity.
