Abstract

Motivation is central to infusing any effective classroom setting with hope, enthusiasm and meaningfully rich teaching moments. Motivating students to aspire to successfully learn is an area that is extensively written about in various teaching and learning texts. But, what does it really mean to have a love of learning of another language with acuity around the politics of learning English? Motivational research tells us that the most successful teachers are those who can draw on innovative and informed teaching approaches that elicit meaningful moments.
