public speaker - Motivation is an essential part of teaching English. Posted By : Vanessa Stephenson
At the beginning of the class the students were very attentive, because it was the first class of the day and the teacher had a nice, familiar song that the students were enjoying. After the song was finished, the teacher began talking again, the motivation dropped until the teacher announced that they would be working in groups, which got every student in the class excited. There was one part in the lesson where the teacher was going around asking questions to individual students and it seemed that some of the student's interest dropped until it was their turn. When the motivation is high in the class, the students are excited and are willing to invest effort in learning activities and to progress, but you can't expect the motivation and attention to be high throughout the entire class, but the teacher must try to have enough varied activities throughout and the motivation should remain fairly high. If the teacher can do give the students the positive energy the students need then the students will give the teacher positive energy while they are learning and make the process more enjoyable.
