Motivation in the Language Classroom

When students are motivated, they are more confident and successful in their learning. But what is at the heart of a motivated learner?

This book discusses the five elements of motivation—the teacher, teaching methodology, the text, the task, and the test—and explores how to use these "5 Ts" to impact student motivation.
