Homolová, Eva, 1954- Zmeny v motivačných faktoroch v jazykovej edukácii seniorov = Changes in motivation factors in language education of senior learners / Eva Homolová, Zlata Vašašová. -- Nowadays education of seniors has become a topic of the day as the number of senior population is constantly growing all over the Europe. In Slovakia, as well as in other European countries, Universities of the Third Age offer a variety of educational programs, out of which language courses have become most preferred. Seniors as a specific group of language learners have their own needs, wants and lacks which influence their motivation to step again into the role of a learner. The purpose of our study is to focus on those motivation factors that play a key role in senior´s decision making to sign in the English language course and complete it. Based on the knowledge of motivation we divide seniors‘motivational factors in two categories: primary factors (cognitive, social and personal) are present at the initial stage of signing in the course. Secondary factors (social relations within the group, teacher, teaching methods and success) have a great impact on seniors in affecting them to continue or drop out the course. Analyzing four case studies we attempt to find out how the intensity and combination of motivational factors change during the language course and what impact it has on learners.
