INTRINSIC MOTIVATION, on the other hand, comes from the task itself - and exists because the learner has a drive to learn., The importance of motivation because Students who are not motivated find learning difficult, The students' motivation may be affected (negatively or positively) by a number of factors such as d) by the natural curiosity that most students possess., the students' natural curiosity often makes the first lesson of a semester with a new class an enjoyable event. Helping our students to sustain their motivation throughout a semester or a year requires more effort, however. so Nothing succeeds like success, and students who succeed in language learning are far more likely to remain motivated than students who constantly fail. However, it is important that students' ACHIEVEMENT should be the result of some effort. If everything is either too easy or too difficult, achievement will be either meaningless or impossible. Good teachers set an appropriate LEVEL OF CHALLENGE so that individual students can experience appropriate success (we discuss DIFFERENTIATION in 42) They set achievable GOALS at every stage of the language learning process., The students' motivation may be affected (negatively or positively) by a number of factors such as a) the society they live in and that society's attitude to l anguage learning, We want something badly enough, we act on that desire and That state of mind is what we call motivation, the students' natural curiosity often makes the first lesson of a semester with a new class an enjoyable event. Helping our students to sustain their motivation throughout a semester or a year requires more effort, however. so Students are far more likely to remain motivated if they think their teacher has a professional ATTITUDE. The way that we present ourselves to the class is important. Students need to know that we have thought about what we are going to teach (PLANNING in 79-80) and that we know what we are doing. Part of a teacher's job is to convince the students, whatever the reality, that they have this kind of professional competence., students who are motivated usually have more chance of success but what is MOTIVATION and how can teachers have an effect on it?, the students' natural curiosity often makes the first lesson of a semester with a new class an enjoyable event. Helping our students to sustain their motivation throughout a semester or a year requires more effort, however. so Because we believe that students should have agency, we encourage LEARNER AUTONOMY, where students do some or a lot of the work on their own. We want them to take charge of their learning by doing such things as DISCOVERING things for themselves, doing a lot of EXTENSIVE READING and listening to PODCASTS, completing HOMEWORK tasks and doing their own language investigation. We will provide LEARNER TRAINING, encouraging our students to think about the best techniques for their own individual learning. For example, how can they remember vocabulary best? What is the best way of studying at home?, the students' natural curiosity often makes the first lesson of a semester with a new class an enjoyable event. Helping our students to sustain their motivation throughout a semester or a year requires more effort, however. so Students are far more likely to remain motivated if they have AGENCY (that is, if they have some control over what is happening). When students can make some decisions themselves -when they are the agents of their own actions - then they stay engaged in the process of learning because they have a stake in it., That state of mind is what we call motivation so The students' motivation will also be affected by their learning experiences. Although motivation is personal to each learner, what teachers do can have a profound effect upon it., when, for example, we are asked to substitute for a colleague, it is not difficult to produce our 'best' lesson for the students to enjoy being a SUBSTITUTE TEACHER can be great fun, the students' natural curiosity often makes the first lesson of a semester with a new class an enjoyable event. Helping our students to sustain their motivation throughout a semester or a year requires more effort, however. so Students are far more likely to stay motivated if they think that their teacher cares about them - if their AFFECT (feeling) is positive. We need to listen, watch and respond to our students in a genuine and interested way. We discuss the importance of RAPPORT (the relationship between teacher and students) in 66., 43. MOTIVATION . The importance of motivation, That state of mind is what we call motivation so The students' motivation may be affected (negatively or positively) by a number of factors
