How can we Motivate Students?
Read the following situations. Try to decide how you could motivate each of the following students to want to learn English. Don’t forget…you must adapt your lessons, not try to change their behaviour!
1. Jeff is 20 years old. His parents sent him to Vancouver to learn English. He just wants to party with his friends. His attendance is not very good and he doesn’t seem interested in anything you have been teaching. What would you do?
2. David has many friends in Vancouver, but none of them speak English. He is a very social and fun person. However, he doesn’t really “need” English because everyone he knows speaks his native language. What would you do?
