The question is how this motivation takes place. Interaction in the classroom is one these factors. This interaction may be between the teacher and students or between students themselves. For instance, Morgan (1997) achieved a high level of motivation in the teaching of intonation by bring in the learners’ social and cultural attitude. This study will consider the effect of interaction between teacher and students in the classroom, the relationship between teacher
learning which overemphasizes the role of individual learner in attunement of his thought, feelings and strategies to accelerate and escalate the extent of his learning. In doing so, a concise overview of this new phenomenon known as self-regulated learning is given at first and evidence attesting to the fruitfulness of such strategy is dispensed in the following.
Theories of Reading According to Vygotsky (1978), learning is a social process; thus classrooms must represent social places. The best classroom environment for struggling readers is one where they can think and talk aloud with their classmates and the teacher about their ideas and questions, (Tankersley, 2005, p.18). Dickinson and Tabors (2000), state that young children who receive high scores on language tests are also early readers who come from
1. Introduction The role of the English language in the Greek state schools in general is considered to be secondary although it is generally agreed that the English language is important being an international language. The current attitude towards learning English in State schools is depressing as most of the learners learn the language in private language institutes in a more organised and exam- oriented way (Manolopoulou-Sergi, 2001). However, the subject imposed by the Ministry of education
comprehension (RC) is a major component of language learning, and finding an appropriate and effective way for teaching it, was considered by many researchers. However, one effective way for achieving this goal can be using jigsaw reading technique. This study aimed at identifying whether co-learning strategy can affect on RC by using the Jigsaw reading technique for learners who really need English for their present work through a tailored course that combines the language and the skills they need today with
in the early 1800’s and the United States in the 1970’s. It wasn’t until the 1980’s, that there has been a widespread use of cooperative learning as an educational strategy (Lv, 2014). The positive effects that cooperative learning has on academic achievement and motivation has already been well documented. A plethora of motivational theories have also been developed in the field of educational psychology through time to explain these human behaviors. Thus, the aim of this study is to present concrete
good command at English language. However it was concluded that immersion, motivation and self -study are the most important factors which are responsible for successful second language acquisition. This study was also supported by Malaka (2001, cited in Golam ,2012) who investigated the factors affecting the teaching-learning English at high school level in Brazil, the overall results of studies indicated that the teaching-learning process is affected by motivational factors In his studies
In second language acquisition, it is a key tenet to explore how individual differences influence on students’ learning. There is no doubt that each person is different from each other in many ways and, of course, being different does not only mean having different learning styles, but also acquiring a foreign language differently. Consequently, individual differences have a strong impact on students’ language acquisition and their overall performance in school, being of crucial importance to take
understanding through routine teaching methods show interesting revelations that teaching methods based on student-centric approach promotes interactive learning process. In these incorporative techniques, the ‘Guru’ (a teacher) plays the role of motivational sparker. Therefore, this paper makes an attempt to highlight and includes imperative teaching methods that make learning more interactive and innovative and hence, more absorbing. Innovative research can seed from creative outlook and paradigm
Aikat (2007) stated that “Interest in reading leads to a dynamic transaction between the reader and the text” (p.700), an idea taken from Louise M. Rosenblatt’s 1978 book, The Reader, The Text, The Poem. According to the aforementioned book, there are two kinds of reading – reading for leisure, called Aesthetic Reading, and Efferent Reading in order to gain information. Efferent readers read for the purpose of the facts they will learn while aesthetic readers read for the reading experience, making
