It delves into various motivational theories, such as intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and their impact on language acquisition. The study synthesizes recent research, including findings from the last five years, to illustrate how motivational pathways influence learners' engagement, persistence, and success in acquiring new languages. Additionally, it addresses the role of cultural and social factors in shaping motivation, revealing the interconnectedness between learners’ psychological states and their language learning environments. Updated strategies, including gamification, personalized learning platforms, and culturally relevant materials, are presented as actionable solutions for educators and policymakers. Future research directions are proposed to deepen our understanding of motivation’s role in diverse educational settings and cultural contexts.enmotivationlanguage learningintrinsic motivationextrinsic motivationcultural contexteducational strategiestechnology-enhanced learning.Мотиваціявивчення моввнутрішня мотиваціязовнішня мотиваціякультурний контекстосвітні стратегіїнавчання із застосуванням технологійArticle81'3:37.01810.30977/BUL.2219-5548.2025.108.0.318
