This study is about the influences of motivation in the English Teaching and learning process of fifth year students on distance learning at the National school Rosa Montoya of El Cua, Jinotega, during the second semester 2011.
The main purpose of this research is to assess how motivation influences in the English teaching and learning process specifically in these students. In addition, it tries to propose some strategies and techniques to support the teacher to become the class a place where the students feel excited and motivated to learn the English language and communicate in the real life.
To study this topic is very important because teachers could discover the appropriate ways to increase the students’ motivation. Moreover, with this research paper teachers will be able to apply the strategies and techniques suggested to student’s reality, because it is important that the teacher knows each learner has different needs and individual preferences. For this reason, it is considered that the information stated in this study has considerable advantages to those teachers who face poor motivation in the classroom and specially those who do not have enough knowledge about theories and strategies.
Regarding to this study, it was found that a low level of motivation is evident in the classroom: lack of students’ participation, students’ shyness, and little target language is used by the students, lack of self-study; lack of self confidence and a boring environment was seen in the classroom. Students are rewarded with grades most of the time to each task assigned, the students are worried only to pass the English class but they are not interested to learn how to communicate.
The English teaching and learning process is developed in the traditional way. The old curriculum is used by the teacher. The method of teaching used by the teacher is: The grammar translation method. The class is organized in pair group, and group work. The means of teaching used by the teacher are handouts and the lesson plan.
Actually, it is not easy for the teacher to keep students intrinsically motivated because there are many factors that influence in motivation. For example, those students’ internal needs which have been not satisfied, the only application of external motivators is not enough. For this reason, the teacher should look for activities to reinforce the intrinsic motivation |
