Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Many factors can impact students' motivation such as social, psychological, educational, economical, etc. However, a teacher can still play an important role to keep the students motivated.

Additionally, the teacher corrects every student's assignment. Notice the word "correct" has been used instead of "mark" or "assess." The teacher will try to point out every single mistake or error. Having six years of English language teaching experience, plus observing my colleagues' and students' behaviour, and studying the methods of foreign language teaching , I have realized that teachers can considerably motivate...  [Read more]
