Aquasi-experimental study examined the influence of classroom learning environment on L2 intrinsic motivation of young foreign language learners in a predominantly monolingual context. Classroom observation was conducted to obtain data on the instructional practice and learning process in both the experimental group and the control group. An interview measure of intrinsic motivation, perceived competence and perceived autonomy was administered after the experiment. The results showed that a predictable learning environment, moderately challenging tasks, necessary instructional support, and evaluation that emphasized self-improvement and attributed success or failure to controllable variables were effective ways to enhance young learners’ self-perceptions of L2 competence, while freedom in choosing the content, methods and performance outcomes of learning, as well as integrative strategy training led to a promotion of perceived autonomy, both of which were proved to be the antecedents of L2 intrinsic motivation.
