This article explores the influence of the educational environment and digital media on students’ motivation to learn English in non-linguistic contexts. It highlights how classroom atmosphere, teacher-student interaction, and the integration of digital platforms such as mobile applications and online communities impact learners’ engagement. Special attention is paid to intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors shaped by personalized learning environments and interactive technology. The findings support the idea that contextual and technological adaptations are critical in enhancing motivation and language acquisition outside of native English-speaking settings.
