Unit 9 - MOTIVATION
Unit
9 is about Motivation, this mainly contains what is motivation and how we as future teachers can deal with it in the
classroom. How teachers help students to focus on the target language and how to become part of a good learning process.
Therefore, the most important part I learnt from this unit is how motivation
can change on people and what are the kinds of motivation. Teachers should
behave naturally in order to get the students' confidence and they can become creative if they feel motivated
about the language they are learning. A main point here is that students should
interact with the teacher in the classroom in order to find a good environment
in class. Furthermore, learners have different kinds of motivation. Some
students are unmotivated, it means
they have no motivation or they are not interested on learning a new language
and I would help them by showing the positive side of the language and the
culture. Also, I would encourage my students to realize how important is learning
a second language in their future. On the other hand, there are demotivated
learners. It means they have lost their motivation. I would help my students to
deal with this by giving them positive
feedback and praise in order to
improve their weakness. To sum up, motivation plays a really important role in
the learning process.
