Abstract. The article is dedicated to the study of the dominant motives in the learning of Latin language by foreign students. The article presents theoretical and practical aspects of foreign students positive motivation formation to study Latin language in higher educational institutions.  The concept of “motivation” is well-grounded and the main motivation criteria are considered.  The leading motives of foreign students for studying Latin language are outlined.  Methods of motivation during studying of Latin language and medical terminology by foreign students are offered.  The most motivating factors that encourage language learning have been studied. Guidance is given to students to remain motivated and support motivation to learn Latin. It was determined that the main criteria for the formation of students; motivation to learn Latin are: the presence of cognitive motives, achievement of goals when studying the discipline, emotions that arise during the learning process, the ability to learn and use the acquired knowledge in practice. It was found that the effectiveness of the educational process is directly related to the motivation and incentive to master the future profession of a doctor. The main factor influencing the educational motivation of foreign students is the mastery of knowledge, skills and competences, which in the future form the basis of professional activity. Increasing motivation of educational activity is promoted by: the method of assimilation of educational material, its content, teaching methods; the use of problematic motivations and tasks in each Latin lesson; use of interactive technologies. The influence of foreign students internal motives for studying the discipline is described.  It is concluded that providing a high level of motivation of foreign students to study Latin language requires the development of a didactic model of such motivation formation, which will provide perspective directions and tendencies for studying Latin language in the higher educational institutions.
