INTRODUCTION• How do you define motivation ?• Does motivation trigger language learning?• Does motivation affect students’ attitudes
towards language learning? • What kind of strategies could be followed to
promote motivation in schools?• What or who influences students’ motivation for
language learning? • What comes to your minds about the term
“motivation”?
Page 7
Page 8
Why did we choose this topic?• Learning is not a process that can be restricted
to a certain part of individuals’ lives; it is a life-long process and it requires active participation of individuals all the time.
• It is not always possible to keep this wish to learn awake; we need to show extra effort to be always on the road that leads to success.
• When it comes to language learning, the learning process becomes a very complicated issue.
• Especially, in EFL settings both teachers and students should have a great role in keeping the process going.
Page 9
Why did we choose this topic?We think :
• Motivation is the key concept that keeps the language learning process alive.
• All elements of learning and teaching process (teachers, administration, students etc.) should work in cooperation to foster motivation to language learning.
• HOWEVER, this is not the case in most of the schools in our country.
• That’s why we decided to analyze this situation in Turkey in detail.
Page 10
Background Knowledge• Motivation; the internal state or condition that
activates and gives direction to our thoughts, feelings and actions. (Lahey, B.)
• External Motivation : Human motives that activated by external rewards.
• Intrinsic Motivation: Human motives stimulated by the inherent nature of the activity or its natural consequences.
Lahey, B. B., 2007. "Chapter 10: Motivation and Emotion."
Page 11
Background Knowledge• Motivation can only be inferred by understanding
a person’s behavior, so it is not possible to directly observe motivation like intelligence.
• As Glasser (1998) suggests, to be motivated, people need to feel satisfied in the areas of;
Competence Belonging Usefulness
Potency Optimism
Glasser, W., 1998. Choice Theory and Quality Teaching.
Page 12
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs• Maslow believes that people pay attention to
higher needs only when lower needs are satisfied.

Expectancy Value Theory
http://www.teacherstoolbox.co.uk/T_Expectancy-value.html
A learner’s motivation is determined by how much they value the goal, and whether they expect to succeed.

What is “Poisonous Pedagogy”?“Poisonous Pedagogy” or “Black Pedagogy”
refers to the kind of education and attitudes intended to harm child’s will but thinking that it is for their own good.

LITERATURE REVIEW• “Poisonous Pedagogy” is a type of child
rearing and this term is used to describe attitudes toward children. It harms the child psychologically or physically. Miller calls this process as a “soul murder”.
• A child should feel comfortable, safe and welcomed to achieve motivation towards language learning. Teacher’s role is to follow different attitudes and intensions toward each student because students’ needs could differ. A teacher should consider the fact that every student has the capacity and the power to learn.
Miller, A.,1990. For Your Own Good: Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of Violence
Page 21
LITERATURE REVIEW • Motivation is the main step to trigger students’
brains and let their thoughts activate. Even the tone of voice, appearance, intense and attitude toward students affect their motivation.
• Therefore; a teacher should perform motivational teaching strategies to ensure and increase students’ achievements.
Miller, A.,1990. For Your Own Good: Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of Violence
Page 22
LITERATURE REVIEW The reality of learning environments
according to Alice Miller;• Teachers are the masters of learners.• The school determines what is right and wrong.• The school provides everything that a reasonable
parent could desire.• Children's enthusiasm and curiosity are a threat to
authority.• Human behavior is driven by competition. • Emotional problems are irrelevant when you are in
the classroom.• If anything goes wrong, it must be the boys' fault
not teachers’. Miller, A.,1990. For Your Own Good: Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of Violence

SURVEY RESULTS
• Most of the teachers do not take responsibility for students’ lack of motivation and failure in language learning.
• Most of the teachers see themselves as the ultimate authority in the classroom and they behave accordingly.
• Most of the teachers regard themselves as the decision maker in the classroom and ignore students’ instincts and judgments.
Page 31
Page 32
SURVEY RESULTS
• Even if most of the teachers do not approve physical punishment; they do not see psychological violence as a big issue.
• All in all, they believe that whatever they do is to foster students’ learning process and they can justify their attitudes towards students by using the excuse: “It’s for their own good.”
Page 33
Page 34
STRATEGIES TO PROBLEM WHAT NOT TO DO!• Unwelcomed behaviour must be prevented by
punishment.• Teachers must be respected, simply because they
are teachers, whatever their failings.• Learners must be humiliated so they become
eager to please.• No teacher must ever show affection for a child.• Any boy who asks for more must be ignored.• Boys must always be ranked for everything.• A master must not consider what a boy feels; he
only needs to correct what he does.• .
Miller, A.,1990. For Your Own Good: Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of Violence
Page 35
SUGGESTIONS• A teacher should provide all students the most
desirable opportunities to help them reach their goals in the classroom and also in their real life circumstances.
• As a role model for every child and especially for those who are at an early age, a teacher has responsibilities which cannot be underestimated. A teacher should be well equipped and should have all kinds of input because some students may need extra help and assistance (if they are clashing with learning a topic).
Page 36
SUGGESTIONS
**A Model for Teachers: Trustful Teaching “The child’s will is his/her motive force.”
• What do we mean by trustful?
We use the term trustful here to refer to an attitude of treating others as equals rather than
as superiors or subordinates.
** This model of teaching is adapted from Peter Gray’s Playful Parenting Theory.http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/freedom-learn/200907/play-makes-us-human-vi-hunter-gatherers-playful-parentinghttp://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/freedom-learn/200907/trustful-parenting-its-downfall-and-potential-renaissance
Page 37
SUGGESTION• In trustful teaching, nobody may dominate the
behavior of another person; each individual must be allowed to make his or her own decisions, within the boundaries set by the rules of the process, and all must have a say in establishing the rules.
• A trustful style of teaching, then, is one in which teachers do not attempt to dominate children's behavior, but rather allow children maximal freedom to make their own moment-to-moment and day-to-day decisions.
http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/freedom-learn/200907/play-makes-us-human-vi-hunter-gatherers-playful-parentinghttp://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/freedom-learn/200907/trustful-parenting-its-downfall-and-potential-renaissance
Page 38
SUGGESTION
• Trustful teachers allow their students to make their own decisions because they trust their students’ instincts and judgments.
• Trustful teachers do not measure or try to guide students’ development, because they trust students to guide their own development. They support, rather than guide development, by helping students achieve their own goals when such help is requested and needed.

Page 41
CONCLUSION• These findings indicate that there are many
problems in education system and most of these problems seem to be teacher-related. However, teachers are not aware of this serious problem and they do not blame themselves.
• Most of the teachers regard punishment as a solution to deviant student behavior and they do not focus on the negative effects of punishment on students.
