MOTIVATION UNIT 9
The unit 9 is about Motivation,
this unit is defined what is motivation and who are the main participants of
it, motivation has to be focus on the target
language culture meanly.
Teachers should promote the self-confidence on students to learn successfully a
language; this process also helps to build students’ independence.
A teacher has to personalize the learners’ process and contents
in order to achieve the lesson´s goals. In the classroom, teacher and students
are the active part of the learning process; that is why a teacher should look
for activities that match with the students’ interests and those topics maybe
relevant for their daily lives, too.
To create a good environment inside of the classroom,
we have to look for a comfortable one; in order to activate students’ brain and
creativity, which helps to make a lesson active and productive, so the knowledge
can be acquire easily and faster, this has to be really important for an
foreign language learning classroom because it demands a lot effort from the
students and teachers.
As many coursebooks show many activities and contents
we as teacher are able to choose the most relevant one to keep our students
interests. So, we have to identify the differences between unmotivated (no motivation at all) and demotivated (lost the motivation during the process) students to
look for the most appropriate contents and activities for our students.

Dear Estefanía ,
ReplyDeleteI think is a very interesting article about the motivation. I believe all that we do is because something is motivate us and is the same with the English. In my experience have a motivation's mix between the intrinsically and the extrinsically. I like the foreing languages ( English in this case ) and I need to learn for my teaching language.
I like that you can express yourself through my blog.
DeleteThank you Verito
Estefy your information is clear and goes straight to the point because if we want to motivate our students, for a better undersatnding and learning, we should promote their self-confidence and so also build students’ independence. However in order to achieve it, teachers should match Students' interest to the topic to personalize the learners’ active process and contents.
