Extrinsic Motivation Factors of Primary School Students in English Learning

Abstract

With the increasing emphasis on education, extrinsic motivational factors are being given with high expectations, especially for primary students who are less self-controlled than other learners. The learning status of the beginner will have a great impact on their future learning. This paper aimed to explore three characteristics of elementary school students: full of curiosity, easy to be affected, and no foundation, with using these characteristics to connect with external motivation factors. To improve learning efficiency, the influence of significant others, giving appropriate rewards, and the effect of learning and social environment should be utilized. When combined with the characteristics of elementary school students, extrinsic motivational factors also differ. Through this way, students can achieve good grades in good physical and mental health with external motivation factors.
