The pivotal role motivation plays in language learning

is clear: ‘In a long term learning process such as the

mastery of a second language, the learner’s ultimate

success always depends on the level of motivation’

(Dörnyei, 2014).

… motivation, seen through a social constructivist

lens is synonymous with engagement; it is not about

individual intra-psychological traits, it is a matter of

volitional participation in social learning activity that is

dynamic and jointly-constructed. (Kaplan & Patrick,

2016).

Purpose of study

Learning a foreign language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures. A high-quality languages education should foster pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. The teaching should enable pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. It should also provide opportunities for them to communicate for practical purposes, learn new ways of thinking and read great literature in the original language. Language teaching should provide the foundation for learning further languages, equipping pupils to study and work in other countries.

Underline the Power of Language

Caution – Grammar ahead!

Marcus Sedgwick, Blood red, snow

white

The typewriter was a marvel of miniaturization, made

from steel and rubber and ivory. A simple enough

thing, though to him, a miracle in itself, for in that box

was the potential to write everything that could ever

be written. Every word, every sentence, every

thought that could ever be, was waiting to be made

from the machine in the box. Every single idea ever

was in there. And that in itself was a wonderful idea.

Making Language – Michael Newby

OUP 1981

Grammar … is for doing things, not listening to

explanations

Grammar … is not just for writing

Strategy # 9 : Borrow
