Numerous studies on the role of motivation in foreign language learning have been conducted in Croatia [24,25].…”

“…A learner endeavors by which means he wants to get excellent grades in the final results as a reward because he does something out of necessity, not satisfaction (wati, 2021). Instrumental motivation makes students learn a second language to get benefits with rewards like getting better job opportunities and completing a level of proficiency when studying a foreign language, among other benefits (Khansir & Jafarizadegan, 2016).…”

Speaking is one of the most important skills a student should practice when learning a foreign language. However, many students are afraid of speaking because they do not want to make mistakes. A lack of motivation is a problem that affects students who are disengaged from learning. When motivation is missing in the learning process, serious consequences can occur. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to determine methods, techniques, and strategies to motivate students of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) to improve the speaking skill. This study is a review article, where bibliographic, analytical, and synthetic methods were employed. Articles were selected from different sources such as Google scholar, Redalyc, Scielo, Eric, and other databases. Among the main results, different methods, techniques, and strategies were found to motivate students to improve the speaking skill and subskills, which can be applied by English teacher, according to their students’ level of education, age and needs. It is concluded that motivation is sometimes overlooked by some EFL teachers and authorities. Nevertheless, teachers have the responsibility to use different strategies and techniques to motivate and engage students.

“…However, there were some limitations, as the study did not consider the effect of other contextual factors apart from language relationships and ICT influence. These factors may be external social and economic factors [37]. Other limitations were associated with the design of the study, such as the fact that the choice of participant numbers from different countries was not equal, as there were more students from Russia, followed by Indonesia, Serbia, and Spain.…”

The objective of this study is to compare and underscore the advantages and disadvantages of learning English in non-English speaking countries to propose the concept of a new English teaching method for students from non-English speaking countries (the case of Russia, Spain, Serbia, and Indonesia). The study used a mixed-methods approach with qualitative analysis of literature from Russia, Serbia, Spain, and Indonesia, and a research questionnaire was developed. 1595 participants were recruited for a survey determining their experiences of learning English and students’ perspectives on English teaching methods in non-English speaking countries. The data went through thematic analysis in the qualitative part of the research and descriptive analysis in the quantitative survey-based design. Findings of the qualitative analysis revealed both advantages and disadvantages of teaching English to students in selected countries; however, the main findings reported the presence of cultural barriers and students finding it difficult to form meanings from the English language context. Conceptual thinking helped to understand the role of memory and comprehension when learning a foreign language, whereby research focuses on more novel concepts. Future researchers can focus on the area of neural development of students' memory, which can help guide strategies to teach the English language effectively.
