Unit 9 Motivation
Motivation is the key to achievegoals
and make the language learning successful; in this unit I learnt that a learners
need to feel comfortable, confident to make
their learning process interesting and keep wanting to do it. In the classroom
it is relevant that the teacher finds out students’ needs,
interests, learning styles to get them involved in the class and avoid that
they become demotivated because of the classroom’s
environment or activities. In the classroom I will motivate students especially
the ones who are unmotivated to learn by giving them
positive feedback, paying attention at what they say,
making them feel part of the teaching process and using a great variety of
activities according to their age, level, trends, likes, etc. To motivate
students it is not necessary to do big things or changes, for learners little
aspects like a simple smile make them feel important and the reason to impart knowledge.
This video can be a great tool to shared with little children and motivate them in their first approaches to L2 :
Great job!
ReplyDeleteIt really shows the hey words which are needed when teaching as well as learning TKT matters. I suggest you to give us extra information so that we can get deeply involved in the topic, for example: exercises, videos, etc.
yeah Nataly I agree with you about motivation since it is not about making big changes in the classroom, just those small things shown by the teacher can make a difference on students. Also, I agree when you say we have to find activities according to their level, age and interest to motivate our students. The video has interesting information!
ReplyDeleteI like the information that you add in the links because they help us to have a better idea how apply the knowledge of this unit in real situation of the classroom, I partially agree with you about the way how you will apply these terms about motivation into the class.
