Motivation in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and English as a Second Language (ESL) learning has been viewed as a complex and far-reaching factor that affects learners' retention, engagement, and performance. It includes intrinsic factors (e.g. personal interest and integrative orientations) and extrinsic factors (e.g academic demands, social pressure). In ESL environments, motivation plays a key role in the development of language skills (LS), communicative competence, and academic achievement. The findings of the present exploration support the claim that extrinsic motivation prevails among Uzbek students to EFL learning motivated mainly by educational obligation and cultural maintenance rather than integrative motivation. The results highlight the importance of considering ESL success holistically by accounting for cognitive, affective and sociocultural aspects in order to promote lifelong language engagement and proficiency.
