Abstract

This document focuses on showing the motivational factors in learning Italian as a foreign language in Ecuadorian students. The research was developed in the "Giuseppe Garibaldi" Educational Unit, located in the Guayaquil canton, Guayas province, Republic of Ecuador. The instrument applied is a version of the Attitude / Motivation Test Battery (AMTB), designed by Gardner (1985) to assess the learning of English as a foreign language. It should be noted that the Test was versioned evaluating each item with a five-point Likert scale, varying this from totally agree (TA) to totally disagree (TD), selecting those that better reflect the motivational factors under study, using a scale to measure the levels of motivation in students. The results of the study show that the students that made up the sample were highly motivated to learn Italian as a foreign language.
