Most research into Japanese language learner motivation has been classified into intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is mainly concerned with a continuing desire to facilitate learning; therefore, most previous research tended to focus on the relationship between the factors of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Because enjoyment and interest in learning are crucial to intrinsic motivation, these factors are important in promoting the desire to continue learning. However, previous research has not described these intrinsic motivation factors in detail. Hence, this study considers the possibility of reclassifying intrinsically motivated Mexican Japanese language learners.
