UNIT 9
Motivation
Motivation
According to the TKT book, motivation is the reason why people decide to do something and involves internal and external factors which make them to want to continue until achieve what they want.
After studying this unit about motivation I
realized that this is the main part that teachers should take into account when
teaching students. It is meaningful to build self-confidence on the students by
encouraging them to take risks in class by asking them to participate, work in
groups, share ideas, etc. Then, it is required to give them positive feedback
and prices depending on the group of students that teachers are working with
and bear in mind that mistakes are allowed since students are learning and
mistakes are a normal process for improving something. . Another important
strategy for motivating learner is to have a good rapport with all the students
without showing preferences for just one or two of them. Besides, teachers need
to be conscious that every single student is a single world and everyone learns
in a different way. Consequently, I will not set goals just thinking on myself,
instead I will set goals for both learners and me. I will choose a variety of activities such as
games, songs, stories, debates, etc. depending on the students’ level. So, it will help to positively engage
students with the activities and they will enjoy what they do.
I´ve included two links of videos about motivation which support my explanation.

ReplyDeleteDear Rosa,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this article because if you ensure that students get the proper academic challenge to stimulate their desire to work in school, you have to use or look for practical techniques to motivate the unmotivated student: give them challenge, choice, significance, feedback, and competence.
