| dc.description.abstract | This study entitled "Role of Intrinsic Motivation in English Language Learning" was carried out to investigate language learning intrinsically motivated students of higher secondary level grade eleven of the private colleges of Kathmandu valley. In order to collect the data, the researcher prepared a set of questionnaires containing sixteen questions and the motivation observation form containing ten statements. Altogether sixty students and three English teachers were selected from three different private colleges of Kathmandu valley. Twenty students were selected randomly from each private college and one English teacher was selected purposively from the same college. Questionnaires were distributed to the selected students for collecting data and motivation observation forms were used by the researcher for the same purpose.After collecting the data findings were derived. Then recommendations were suggested on the basis of the findings. The major findings of this research work are that most of the students learn the English language for different purposes like:to get extra knowledge, to improve their English, to get praise and appreciation of the teacher. But they are not intrinsically motivated when their teachers give them less priority during the classroom teaching, do not show the same interest to all their students and use only teacher-centered method. There are various factors which lead the students towards learning English intrinsically. The thesis consists of four chapters. The first chapter consists of introduction, the general background, various models and theories of motivation, sources of motivation,classification of motivation, factors affecting intrinsic motivation, literature review,objectives of the study and the significance of the study. The second chapter deals with the methodology of the research. The chief tools of data collection are motivation survey questionnaires and motivation observation form.

The data were analyzed and interpreted by using simple statistical tool (table) in terms of percentage.
