USING METHODS TO MOTIVATE ALL STUDENTS TO LEARN ENGLISH
Keywords:
Motivate, Positive English Classroom, English Language ArtsAbstract
In this paper, I delve into strategies that English teachers can use to build a classroom environment that inspires all students to learn, regardless of their backgrounds. I draw on motivation and belongingness theories to emphasize the significance of positive peer interactions and strong student-teacher relationships in cultivating a supportive learning space. Furthermore, I explore how community engagement initiatives can help tackle broader social issues that affect student motivation and engagement. By focusing on these elements, English teachers can establish a classroom atmosphere that motivates every student to excel.
