how to motivate pupils? please, I would like some help. I would like to know if anybody has ever feared to loose some of his pupils because they are no more interested in his/her lessons. Can you give tips to make my lessons more motivating and challenging. Thanks a lot. |
Re: how to motivate pupils? Could you give us some details like how old they are, how many in the class, what level and how you usually structure the classes? |
Re: how to motivate pupils? Like Susan says, age is a big factor, how old are they? For more mature students, give them some input into the class - ask them what activities they enjoy or what they want more or less of. |

If you do ask your students what they want more or less of, my advice is to set a portion of the class aside for doing that but spend the rest of the class doing what they need. We also did a show on motivating students at ESL Teacher Talk. http://www.eslteachertalk.com/2006/1...ly-challenged/ It might be helpful. Eric |
Re: how to motivate pupils? First of all let me thank you for your help. I'm teaching 11-14 years old kids. 11-12 pupils would be considerate brginners. But 13-14 would be considered post beginners if it's correct to say that. most of the time, i start loosing them because they find it hard to follow the pace of good achievers in class- by the way classes here count 25, 30 and even 34 pupils. Taking into account discipline problems, lack of motivation it becomes difficult to teach and try plenty of games, fun activities to win back those lazy or desinterested pupils. Some 'experienced' advice would be more than welcome. |

Re: how to motivate pupils? I used to walk into a class and ask the students what they wanted to do. I would tell them that we would do that for the last part of the class - the fun activity. but then again i taught youngins and i found it easy to keep them motivated and interested... |
