Generally speaking, motivation is what energizes, maintains, and controls behavior. As such, it is clear why it plays an important role in the university. Because to make things that you want to do or achieve happen, you need motivation. Therefore, motivation is needed by everyone so it is what drives you towards a goal, gets you up in the morning, and keeps you working through a task, determined to succeed when things get tough. This essay will demonstrate the reasons why lectures are responsible to motivate students to learn.

To begin with, lectures can influence others, especially the students. Because they have more experiences and higher education than the students. That is why, when lectures speak up, people can easily believe and get the point. Moreover, students need to have motivation in order to understand and get the idea from lectures.

In addition, motivation is not just all about giving students speech in boring and formal way. But giving more innovative and creative assignment can lead them to have more spirit, passion and improve their willingness of study. Because the regular assignment was too often and ordinary.

Finally, Lecturers play big role in students’ learning activities so motivation from them is needed. Because more motivations can lead to increased productivity and allow students to expand their abilities more. Just like a quote from Mustafa Kemal Ataturk “A good teacher is like a candle-it consumes itself to light the way for others”.

To sum up, although Self-willingness is the basis in learning process, lectures should also be aware of the important role of motivations. That is why I totally agree with the statement above.
