Early motivation research mainly comes from Gardner and Lambert. They are the biggest contributors to the early studies of motivation. In their early work, Gardner and Lambert (1972) pided motivation into two catalogs: integrative and instrumental. The former refers to a desire to learn the language in order to relate to and even become part of the target language culture and the latter has to do with practical reasons for language learning, such as getting a promotion.

While for integrative ones, learning English is their interests, and they are willing to learn more about the culture behind the target language and communicate with others in the target language.
