UNIT 9: MOTIVATION

In unit 9 of my TKT coursebook I have learned that there are some factors that influence in motivation it involucre learners and teachers. But what is motivation. First, it is defined as “the choices people make as to what experiences or goals they will approach or avoid and the degree of effort they will exert in this respect” (Keller, 1983). Motivation is one of the most important factors which influence language learners’ success or failure in learning the target language. So students who are unmotivated will not learn effectively. They may feel that they have no interest in the subject, find the teacher’s methods un-engaging or be distracted by external forces. Second, one of the most difficult aspects of becoming a teacher is learning how to motivate our students. There are some strategies that teacher need to use in their classes don’t make students demotivate when they are learning English. For example, teachers have to encourage pupils in order to make them feel important. Be enthusiastic in the classroom and praise your students often. Based on the explanation above, we know that motivation is so important in learning English. Anyway, every human being has motivation; all we have to do as teacher is stimulate that motivation.
