General Conclusion
Motivation is a critical part in language learning success and real life, precisely in improving 
skills. The current study investigated the student motivation in online compared to in-person 
learning at the university of Adrar in doing so the socio-educational model of Gardner (1985) 
and the Socio-cognitive models of motivation was developed for further understanding. 
Based on the findings of this study, motivation play an essential role in online and in-person 
foreign language learning, students are somewhat motivated to learn in-person instead of 
online, the challenges in using the online strategy affect the learners' attitude toward such 
climate in learning EFL. The second conclusion that learners would learn in their own at home I 
order to improve their level in English language. That is to say, their autonomous motivation 
would be improved if they control their self-directed. While some students are more satisfied 
and motivated with the use of online learning as a way of teaching, others are less comfort, they 
improve their engagement in face to face training and provide affective learning experience. 
One of the limitations of the research is the small sample size with only 30-selected 
participant it may not be representative for all the ELL in Adrar. we faced difficulty collecting 
the questionnaire copies, and the students were uncooperative. A bigger sample of students may 
need to be studied in the future to ensure the study's consistency. The survey was only 
conducted at one university; however, for additional research, other universities from other 
regions of the area might be included. 
The current study's data gathering tool was mainly a survey questionnaire, which allows 
researchers to deal with a big number of participants. However, due to the complexities of both 
motivation and English language acquisition, it is advised that future researchers use a variety 
of data collection methods, such as observation or oral interviews. This can aid researchers in

fully comprehending the complexities of motivation and the language acquisition process. 
Researchers can develop a greater understanding of the correlation between the two by using 
direct questions and observations. Furthermore, the strategy allows researchers to investigate 
motivation in a given context or skill achievement.
