Unit 9. Motivation

Unit 9. Motivation




This Unit was remarkable, because as a future teacher, I developed my level of knowledge about 
motivation in the class. 
     First, it is important to know that motivation involves to the thoughts and state of mind that exist into the class for encourage our students to learn, understand and give sureness for acting in the class. Also , I learned about the factors that includes  motivation such as : achieve, target language cultures , confidence and autonomy, I think those are important in a classroom, for example , motivation   implicates the knowledge as a part of the mean tool , in the way of  teacher needs to have  acquaintance of the language  as the  head way of communication , this  is the key part for  capting the attention in the classroom, with the tone of voice, the raising intonation, the gestures, those of them , reflect a lot of communicational part in the class.

      Secondly, communication is born from a good confidence to students. In this stage is important to maintain a good level of knowledge with the intention of resolve questions, dudes, an another component that students have for start with a  suitable  awaking in the classroom , I consider that is the perfect moment to start with the practical achievement, this works perfectly when students develop the communicative part. Similarly, Target language culture has an intense effect on the language that teachers and students are learning.

      As a conclusion, learning progress of a language, implies a lot of difficulties on skills like write and speaking, this could affect the needs to communicate or look for a specific expressions in the classroom. Furthermore, when a language is learning, we learning a culture at the same time. Also this process bring the  content of  the cousebook , this could affected the enthusiasm if it  is not   followed according previous plans , then is important the Teacher´s  creativity, using extra material activities, role plays,  and different kind of on- line resources , for  increasing  the motivational level in the students where prize and encourage are essential too.

  5. Dear Glorita,
    I really enjoyed reading your post and I suggest that you first, given the opportunity to engage in a learning activity, a student determines if the activity is one that is known to be interesting. If so, the student engages in the activity.
    Good article ...!!
