Analysis of factors that provoke lack of motivational english class in 1ST year students of Madre Teresa de Calcuta School, in Jinotepe during the second semester 2010

There are different problems in Nicaragua in the field of education. Some of them affect the quality and development of many programs. Sometimes it is impossible to regulate or to know what are the principal reasons or causes that are involved in this problem. This research is related to the lack of motivation that students have when they are learning other language as second language. I am interested in this topic because there is no motivation in students when they begin to study other language different from their native language. This research is very important because it is intended to find out the factors that provoke lack of motivation in a specific secondary school and give some suggestions to solve this problem. This research contains general and specific objectives which will help to develop this investigation. I classify this research as Qualitative Research; in this case every student, teacher and parent answered every question and they expressed their thinking and feeling about my topic. The instruments that I applied were interview, focal group and class observation that were made according with my research matrix. In this research I used a sample that helped different students that were involved with this kind of problems, this means, the information that I have gotten was objective. I found some problems that affected many students by lack of motivation that exists in that school. So I discovered that the motivation is like a key in the learning process because if the student does not feel motivate his learning is not going to be successful and significant; also to improve the motivation in to the classroom I suggest to the teacher to use attractive and modern strategies like educational songs, shows to the students educational videos, games and some dynamics or even some clippings representing an action (like run, draw and cooking) I thought that this suggestion could improve the interest to learn for the students
