3589. Some Ideas about Motivating Our Students

 We may be on vacations now… or not. Anyway, we teachers may be preparing ourselves for the new school year next fall. 

Classes, classes, classes, we also may miss our students, although we appreciate this summer break, in the north hemisphere. 

And we have to learn how to motivate our students. 

Well, better said, mostly they get motivated in the lesson if we know how to plunge them into the pool, if we know how to get them fully involved in the lesson. 

On the one hand we have to show the relationship between what we teach and real life. But as well we teachers have to arouse the interest for new material and new stuff if we achieve to get them immersed into the lesson. 

I mean, we have to teach new things to our dear students, and consequently and eventually they will get motivated about that new stuff. Also if they work hard.

Some people say we have to meet our students’ interests, but also they will get interested in new things when we teach them thus. 

Something else. The right teacher should put all the meat on the barbecue broiler, as we say in Spanish. You know, the teacher should give himself up into the lesson. 

The teacher has to give his best into the lesson. 

Otherwise, he will not achieve his students be motivated. The teacher has to be a bit of an actor, an entrepreneur, a clown a few times, a seller, a tutor, a zillion other small jobs in the classroom. He will probably not confine his work to just what stipulated at the contract. Yet he will get a big smile after a committed work both in and out of the classroom. Have a nice day.
