Résumé:
The present study aims at identifying the relationship between student’s motivation
and positive thinking. To achieve this purpose, we attempted to cover a study that was divided
into three chapters which highlight students’ positive and negative attitudes. We, in fact,
sought to shed the light on students’ motivation and its effectiveness in their learning process
and we tried to propose some helpful elements and activities that urge to solve students’
learning issues. Therefore, our objective is primarily to examine the suitability and
effectiveness of positive thinking on students’ motivation and academic performance. We
assume that positive thinking helps to increase learners’ motivation in their learning process
by providing different activities in oral sessions. In order to test this hypothesis, we used an
interview and a questionnaire to collect data. These two were administered to first year license
students at the English department of Abdelhamid Ibn Badis University, Mostaganem . The
findings have revealed an influence of positive thinking over students’ motivation in a manner
that increases their energy and effort.
