ENThe article analyzes some peculiarities of adults’ motivation for learning foreign languages in an informal educational organization, emphasizing that these topics are very relevant in the modern changing world and they lack proper scientific discourse. The article consists of an introduction, research methodology and research results parts, and the main conclusions. The author presents the results gained with the help of a questionnaire, where the above mentioned peculiarities are highlighted according to such groups, as the dominant foreign languages learning motifs, difficulties of learning foreign languages, and factors encouraging foreign languages learning motivation. In the conclusions of the article it is stressed that adults learning foreign languages usually are lead by intrinsic motifs. The most often difficulties that adults encounter while learning are failure to coordinate work, professional matters and language learning. Language encouraging factors lie in family support, while suppressive ones are that there are no conditions established for language foaming at work. [From the publication]
