Rationale of the study Today, new technologies provide learners with a wider array of opportunities to study and learn languages, but, since these opportunities are largely available on a voluntary out-of-school basis, they further highlight the importance of learners‟ motivation. Though a number of studies have been carried out on the relationship of online learning to motivation in classroom settings, there has yet been little research on language learning motivation in out-of-school settings. It can be clearly seen that in Vietnam, we are mainly teaching and learning English in non-native language environment, so students do not have much chance to expose to real, native English. However, with the development of the internet and technology nowadays, it gives us more chances to bring English nearer to the learners. Learning through the internet is rapidly growing and attracting more and more learners in Vietnam. On the other hand, how to get a good result when learners learn English in that environment, and how to maintain the learning process by students themselves are key points deciding the outcome of the learning. Thus, motivation will play the center role to push students learn by themselves without any demand from teachers. From the above reasons, the author would like to investigate the motivation of online learners, particularly the learners at the course - Basic English 1 at website tienganh123.com to find a way to attract them to learn, and help them to be good at English even in non-native environment like Vietnam. Aim of the study The study aims at investigating the motivation in learning English online of learners at the course Basic English 1 at website tienganh123. To achieve this aim, the study sets out to obtain three specific objectives as follows: - Identifying types of motivation possessed by learners at the course Basic English 1 at website tienganh123.com in learning online. 1 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com - Studying factors affecting motivation in learning English online. - Finding out strategies to develop motivation of students in order to improve their results of learning online. Research questions The study was done in order to find out the answers to the following research questions: 1. What are the types of motivation of online language learners at Basic English 1 at tienganh123. What are the factors affecting students‟ motivation when they learn English online? 3. What are learners‟ preferences when they learn English online at tienganh123. What are appropriate strategies to develop students‟ motivation in learning English online at tienganh123. Scope of the study Mentioning online language learning and learner‟s motivation, the study “An investigation into online learners’ motivation of Basic English 1 at tienganh123.com” has many interesting aspects. However, due to the limitation of time and knowledge, the author would like to cover just the types of motivations processed by online learners at Basic English 1 at tienganh123.com, the factors affecting online learners‟ motivation and appropriate strategies to develop students‟ motivation in learning English online at tienganh123. Methods of the study The theoretical background of the study is mainly based on the references and analysis to relevant theories about motivation and online language learning of many authors. The study is carried out on the basis of a survey questionnaire, interviews and course observation. In theoretical part, reference materials on motivation and online language learning 2 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com have been gathered and reviewed to establish the framework for the study. In practical part, a survey questionnaire and interviews are carried out to answer the questions raised for the study. Significance of the study The study focuses on the importance of motivation and identifies the factors affecting students‟ motivation in learning English online. Its findings are believed to be helpful for teachers and learners of English and website developers to be aware of the vital role of motivation to students‟ results and to help them find a better way to attract more students to this way of learning. Since then, the study suggests some motivational strategies for better result when learning through the internet. Design of the study The study is designed with three parts as follows: PART A: INTRODUCTION The part presents the rationale of the study, aims of the study, research questions, scope of the study, methods of the study and the significance.
