UNIT 9                                                     MOTIVATION

Motivation is the thoughts and feelings which make us want to and continue to want to do something and which turn our wishes into action. In education, motivation deals with the problem of setting up goals so that learners will perform to the best of their abilities in the teaching learning process. We often motivate learners by helping them develop self- confidence, autonomy and independence. Personally I think that developing those things we will become successful at something, and that success makes us want to continue doing it and achieve greater things.

Into a classroom is important to motivate students by the right encouragement and support.in the case of teaching a target language as for example English the motivation will help students to achieve the top point of learning. Some students are unmotivated because since the primary school teachers do not contribute to their learning in a good way, on the other hand there some students has motivation but with the time they become demotivated because a teacher is not doing a good job and he/she is losing the enthusiasm for study.  

Examples of motivation:

• -          At my French class with teacher Fanny she always used to recognize and praise my effort. And she helped us to develop self-efficacy by showing us the connection between effort and achievement.
• -          Also teacher Fanny provided us of models, samples, and many examples about the class so that we know what to do and we always know that if we have a question we could ask for help because she always was monitoring us.

Through those examples I have gave I think I would try to almost the same in order to motivate my students to build confidence in their selves and at me as their teacher.
