Abstract

This paper deals with the motivation behind learning a second foreign language seen from the point of view of teaching second foreign language in private tertiary institutions in Serbia. A survey has been conducted in one tertiary institution among its students who can choose between two second foreign languages, namely French and Spanish. The survey aimed at discovering internal drivers behind the motivation to learn additional foreign languages with a view of adapting the curricula to the needs and priorities of students in order to achieve better learning outcomes. The results of the survey show that although there are slight differences in internal drivers between those two languages, the main drivers remain the same - professional development, personal development and desire to immerse oneself in another culture. The teachers were able to adapt their curricula to better meet the needs of students and to leverage this particular interplay between intrinsic and extrinsic, or integrative and instrumental, motivations of their students.
