Motivation represents an important issue in learning. Motivation in learning a second language differs from more general motivation due to the fact that second language learning requires acquisition of the four skills (i.e., reading, writing, speaking, and listening), involves cultural background, and necessitates new adaptations.The level of student motivation does not remain stable; demotivating factors cause decreases in students’ motivation level. Thus, teachers employ motivation strategies in the classroom to help their learners regulate their motivation, avoid states of demotivation; thereby, help them persist in academic tasks. This study aimed to find out teachers’ thoughts on and attitudes towards motivation strategies. Data were gathered through a questionnaire on motivation strategies, and they were analyzed through frequency tests. The findings suggest that teachers employ motivation strategies; however, they need to take student perspectives into consideration while applying the strategies.
