students, and can try to improve those strategies that they lack in their<br />

teaching.<br />

This study differs from others in the field because it focuses only on the<br />

role of the teacher in reinforcing students’ motivation in foreign language<br />

classes, while most other studies analyze and compare more subjects. This<br />

study is practical because after all teaching is applying knowledge into<br />

practice; however it has theoretical importance as well because a good<br />

amount of literature is reviewed and summarized in a new context for<br />

foreign language teachers. Although it seems that everything was said about<br />

motivation and everything was known about it, it was shown that this term<br />

implied more than was assumed. Motivation in a way captures all aspects of<br />

teaching, starting from the teacher personality and behaviour, the way the<br />

teacher manages the classroom as well as the tasks and the teaching<br />

materials that the teacher uses. If teachers become aware that their job is not<br />

only delivering content but also motivating students then they could try to<br />

improve their attitudes and strategies of teaching, and make their classes<br />

more enjoyable, pleasant and worth attending.<br />
