The document discusses several ways to motivate students including gaining their attention through humor and engaging questions, making learning visual through diagrams and objects, providing positive feedback and activities that allow students to feel a sense of accomplishment, relating lessons to students' experiences, allowing some freedom and fun, and getting students actively involved in lessons. Motivating students is important for focusing them on tasks and for longer term learning success.

1. ‘How to
motivate
students’

2. • Motivating students is a
challenge that almost all
teachers face.
• Students need to be
motivated in order to focus on
the task they will accomplish.
• How can we motivate
students?

3. • First of all, we should
attract their attention on
what we are teaching, using
humor, jokes and engaging
questions which get the
students talking.

4. • We should make learning visual
using drawings, diagrams,
pictures, charts, even three-
dimensional or real objects to
help students anchor the idea
to an image.

5. • The feeling of satisfaction, confidence
and success has an important effect
on motivation, as well. We should
provide activities that allow students
accomplish certain tasks and feel that
they can do. We can accelerate this by
giving positive feedback and praises
like “Good job! or Well Done!”.

6. • When we use positive emotions to
enhance learning and motivation
including something fun, exciting,
happy, or perhaps even a bit
frightening, students will learn
and remember better.

7. • students will be much more
motivated and committed
to a learning activity which
meets their needs.

8. • They need fun, they need a
bit freedom. By the way, we
should allow students
participate in the lesson
actively and relate the
content to their
experiences in real life.

9. • Remember that, the more
motivated students get, the
more successful they will be
and the longer the learning
process will last.

10. • Remember that, the more
motivated students get, the
