7. Motivation is …. the dynamically changing cumulative arousal in a person that initiates, directs, coordinates, amplifies, terminates, and evaluates the cognitive and motor processes whereby initial wishes and desires are selected, prioritised, operationalised and (successfully or unsuccessfully) acted out. Dörnyei and Otto (1998) (cited in Chambers, Gary (Ed ). 2001 Reflections on motivation . London: CILT) What is motivation…….
10. Motivated learners? I hated the school topic because I did not find it interesting and I will probably never need it again. I didn’t like the pencil case items because it wasn’t interesting or very relevant to me. I didn’t like doing the time because I had already done it at primary school. I prefer working outside the text book because you have more freedom so it is fun I liked the work on Euro 2008. We got really creative and made posters. I enjoyed doing the work on the Olympics the most. I loved putting my French skills to the test and learning about the mascots. It made me realise how much French I knew.

I enjoyed every second of the trip and the staff and volunteer students have been exceptionally welcoming and giving in every way humanly possible. When I leave China, I leave knowing that I am always welcome.'

24. Helping learners to help themselves - equipping learners with the strategies to be successful language learners Now, however, in the age of learner-centredness in education and of learner autonomy in particular, in may be that the teachers’ own agenda needs to change. After all, the appropriate question no longer seems to be how can we motivate our learners ? But how can we help learners to motivate themselves?

Editor's Notes
That’s not to say that all such issues are simply a matter of motivation but that a learner who enjoys the language learning experience, is interested in what they are doing, has some degree of choice over what they are doing, wants to succeed and indeed experiences success, is more likely to be a motivated learner and one where the task of the teacher will be that much simpler or more straightforward. Unfortunately things are quite as simple as that and there is a whole host of factors which can affect the way in which the learner responds to and operates within the formal learning environment, that environment for which we as teachers are responsible, and that’s what we are going to consider today.

Essentially boil down to different types of text, image (sometimes combined with text) audio (combined sometimes with one or other of the other two. Will look at some different ways of exploiting these, but only have 40 minutes! Firstly will briefly consider why we should use authentic resources
