САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:

This paper presents the findings of the research which attempted to analyse the frequency of EFL teachers’ motivational strategies use. The research also evaluated which factors may be related to the use of strategies. It was discovered that professional development of EFL teachers, especially its informal type, is connected to the use of motivational teaching strategies. Place of employment also showed connections to strategies. Lastly, teachers’ age and level of education were not proven as significant factors in the use of motivational teaching strategies. With that in mind, this research could serve as motivation for teachers to develop themselves professionally, in order to better their teaching practice. Additional research is required in order to fully comprehend the relationship between motivational strategy use and student motivation and learning outcomes.
