Motivation

Theory of motivation in language learning
A common conceptualisation of motivation in language learning is that there should be three requirements to motivate.

Independent learners need to understand what they are learning, they need choice, and they need time for reflection.

Consider the following nine steps for independent learning.


 * 1) have clear goals
 * 2) create your own goals
 * 3) apply knowledge outside class
 * 4) consider the learning process
 * 5) identify preferred styles and strategies
 * 6) have choice
 * 7) generate your own tasks
 * 8) teach what you learn
 * 9) research
