AE Live 5.6: Enhancing Learner Motivation in the EFL Classroom

English Language Teaching Methodology: This session is part of the American English Live! teacher professional development series. For more resources to teach and learn English, visit americanenglish...
If we want motivated students, we must have motivated teachers! This session provides opportunities for participants to explore how to enhance learner motivation. We will first address how to enhance our own motivation as teachers and then explore ways to enhance the motivation of our students. We will anchor the discussion on Dörnyei’s framework of motivational teaching practices. The framework includes four essential components: (1) creating the basic motivational conditions, (2) generating initial motivation, (3) maintaining and protecting motivation, and (4) encouraging positive retrospective self-evaluation. These four components guide teachers in transforming the language classroom into a powerful learning environment.
