Abstract
Motivation plays a very important role in enhancing the students’ pronunciation learning. Consequently, the researcher’s argument is that motivation is necessary for one to learn and acquire a second or foreign language because most successful learners of a second language are motivated to do so. Hence, this research work highlights the role motivation plays in the acquisition of phonetic sounds among the Ebonyi State University students. The researcher examines the concept of motivation, explains some theories of motivation as it relates to language learning, the types of motivation — intrinsic, extrinsic, integrative and instrumental. The study analyzed the data gotten through the use of a 7 – item questionnaire administered to supposedly 120 students but recovered 113 copies from the students in the Department of Linguistics and Literary Studies, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki. The results from the findings revealed that the use of reward, employment of competent phonetic lecturer(s), and well structured and functional phonetic laboratory enhance the students’ pronunciation learning. It was also discovered that the students’ L1 hinders the acquisition of phonetic sounds, and that pronunciation learning has future benefit.
