The aim of this article is to compare teachers’ strategy views with actual classroom practices when the foreign language has been studying. Such research on the scientific literature of motivational teaching is needed because it not only provides researchers with additional information, but it also helps teachers gain insight on how students’ motivation is operated when they are studying a foreign language as a second language. There are described four motivational strategy phases reflect the circular movement and strong connection that motivational has as well as its dynamic nature in the foerign language classroom.
