“…The Covid 19 pandemic continues to affect the world and exponentially changing the education scenario we once knew. Mass closure of the educational institutions as an aftermath of the pandemic is forcing teachers to embark on emergency remote teaching with or without much preparation (Khan et al, 2020;UNESCO, 2020). Educators all around the globe have been forced to rethink about more innovative ways to deliver an education that is driven by students, more oriented toward purpose and meaning, and more global (Zhao, 2020).…”

“…Therefore, redesigning curricula to suite remote teaching system with practical strategies for making online classes more motivating and effective has become crucial than ever before. It has become essential to ensure enhanced multilateral cooperation for expanding access to technology and training, adapting pedagogical strategies and reforming assessment modalities (Khan et al, 2020). Major investment in digital infrastructure as the government's goal of nation building in the 21 st century world of endless knowledge and communication can continue, as the use of technology is the way forward for the education sector.…”

English proficiency is considered a door opener almost in any field anywhere in the world, yet all the attempts to improve effectiveness of teaching and learning of English language in Bangladesh seem to fail over decades. Although poor learning motivation is counted as a key aspect why students do not hold their attention to their English classes and make use of their capabilities to understand and learn cognitively, there has been a very limited number of studies in Bangladeshi context to deal with this critical issue. This mixed method study attempted to identify the sources of motivation for attending English classes of the 1st year undergraduate students at a Bangladeshi university. Quantitative data was collected using two close-ended questionnaires from 50 randomly selected Bangladeshi tertiary level English language learners and 10 teachers. The student questionnaire was developed by adding three items with the ten items adapted from Clement et al. (1994) and the teachers questionnaire was developed and administered to follow up the findings from the student participants. For a more complete analysis, structured interviews were conducted with 10 purposively selected students. The results indicated lack of intrinsic motivation among the learners, and based on the existing literature, the study recommended the way outs to improve motivation of the non-performing learners. The recommendations included, shifting from exam-oriented assessment system, teachers’ reflection of their own teaching practices, redesigning course curricula based on learning need and learners’ expectations, ensuring easy access to the latest educational facilities, and encouraging the roles of students and their peers to develop learners’ motivation and foster their autonomous learning opportunities. Finally, the limitations are drawn and suggestions for further research are provided.

“…With the rise of international collaborations and interdisciplinary research, the ability to articulate ideas and findings in English is paramount [33]. Cambodian scholars and researchers proficient in English can contribute to global conversations, publish in renowned academic journals, and participate in international conferences, thereby raising the profile of Cambodian higher education globally [34].…”

English holds paramount significance as a global language, widely employed by diverse nations, including Cambodia, where it functions as a foreign language. Particularly in Cambodia, English has become indispensable for tertiary education. Employing a mixed methods approach, this study surveyed 183 university students, with ten subsequently participating in voluntary interviews. The findings indicate that students predominantly exhibit extrinsic motivation in their approach to English reading, with no discernible variance based on gender. The research also proposes several strategies for educators to enhance students' reading motivation, identifying the strategy of having students explain their comprehension to others as particularly efficacious. The study underscores the significance of English reading and elucidates the challenges students encounter in related activities. Ultimately, the study advocates for future investigations with larger sample sizes to further enrich scholarly insights.
