Abstract | In the study the authors investigated the role of motivation and selected related individual difference variables, such as anxiety and willingness to communicate on the quality (accuracy, complexity, lexical richness, the number of arguments and counter-arguments) and quantity of students' output. The authors computed correlations between motivational and language variables in the whole sample as well as in two sub-groups of the participants: those who had a favourable attitude to the task they had to perform and those who did not. The effect of the partner's motivation was also assessed. The results suggest that it is rather the quantity of talk that is influenced by motivation and not the quality of the content produced. In the whole sample it was only course attitudes that had a beneficial effect on the accuracy of the participants' output. When the sample was divided into high and low task-attitude students, the authors found that even if students did not like the specific task they had to perform, their accuracy increased if they had a generally positive attitude to the language course itself. It was also revealed that if students' attitude to the task was negative, their own motivation had little effect on the quality and quantity of language output; instead it was the partner's motivation that played a role in the performance of the task. If on the other hand, the learners had positive attitudes towards the task, it was primarily their own motivation that influenced their performance and not that of the interlocutor.
