| Research Abstract |
The present study reported here was to develop the motivational strategy for low-motivated EFL learners and examine its enhancement effect on intrinsic motivation in three levels. This study consists of two case studies and one quasi-experimental study. Qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed for this study. The results provide compelling evidence that teachers’ motivational strategies cause enhanced intrinsic motivation in low-motivated learners. The strategy was effective especially for intermediate level learners.
