ENMotivation determines success in developing accelerated foreign language learning and acquisition. It also determines the extent of active, personal involvement in learning. Teaching and learning objects coincide if students’ learning and teachers’ teaching expectancy degree differ. It means, teachers should be aware of background knowledge and psycho-features of those who they teach. The survey showed that most of the students are both intrinsically and extrinsically motivated. They are very often motivated by extrinsic benefits, such as career prospects, money, good grades and etc. Very often those who are intrinsically motivated stated that they study because they want or it is personally important for them, without external stimulus and force. The research showed that the teachers need to learn well the motives of the students and be able to replace extrinsic to intrinsic motivation for the value of the latter is much higher. An intrinsically motivated student learns the language much more effectively and retrieves the information much faster. Moreover, the language learning environment should be free from anxiety, threat, intimidation, frustration. Creative atmosphere makes the students be relaxed, not afraid to make mistakes and this way of learning can easily encourage the students to accelerate the learning. This makes adult learners be intrinsically motivated, displayed with intellectual curiosity and find accelerated learning enjoyable and satisfying.
