Motivation and Learning!
There are lots of tasks that we have to face in life. It doesn't matter if you are a teacher or learner. Motivation is all you need to get what you wish in your life. The role of teacher in this important issue is really crucial.
It is possible to see students feeling down from time to time. It is teacher's duty to observe and shake them to put them back on the track to success in their learning process. Motivation might occurs thanks to some speeches made by teachers.
When we think about learning a new language, your students have to face with some difficulties. It is not an easy task to learn a new language, especially if it is completely different from your own language.
When your students feel reluctant in learning, you might remind them some certain things so that they can understand why they need to learn the language. Awareness of learning a language will boost their motivation.
It is a good idea to show them what they can do thanks to a new language. First of all, they can travel as they wish without having a partner with themselves. It gives them freedom. If you support this idea with some visuals and stories, they will surely be so motivated.
In addition to it, talking about job opportunities is also great way of motivating them. If you give examples about the jobs which need a foreign language, they can feel motivated again. It always works on them.
Finally, all teenagers need to leave everything behind and start new adventures in their lives. This might be a positive weak point of them. If you link this issue with the importance of learning a new language, your students might take learning a new language more seriously.
