The issue under study is topical and significant in modern pedagogics because it is related not only to the great role that motivation plays in the process of students' learning a foreign language, but also a shortage of efficient motivational techniques enhancing this process used in class. Researchers state that among other factors influencing acquisition of knowledge the one of motivation is the most significant. The technique of keeping a Reflective Journal (RJ) has been worldwide used in teaching practice; however, in Russia it hasn't been applied so widely. The article aims at studying the impact the use of RJ Writing has on enhancing students' learning motivation. The study was conducted in Kazan State University where 30 upper-intermediate students learning English took part in the experiment. The methods used to explore the problem were literature review, experiment conducted in Kazan Federal University, questionnaires administered to students and their analysis. Results of the post-study questionnaire administered at the end of the course demonstrated a high level of students' learning motivation. The findings showed that the RJ Writing, alongside with improving learning and increasing selfconfidence, enhanced students' motivation. The article's materials could be useful for university teachers interested in ways of enhancement of their students' motivation, thus promoting their progress in studies.
