MOTIVENGLISH 1: MOTIVATION IN THE ENGLISH CLASSROOM IN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION

Abstract

MOTIVENGLISH 1. Motivation is one of the most relevant factors in the acquisition and optimal development of the linguistic and communicative competence in a second language. For this reason, we have implemented a research project in different primary and secondary schools in Asturias (Spain) which is addressed to the English language and bilingual subjects´ teachers. The aim of this project is to know the motivational and methodological strategies used by teachers, focusing mainly on oral interaction teaching. Besides, the project will collate the teachers´ opinions and perceptions about their students´ motivation and the teachers´ suggested improvements. The project joins different strategies together to improve teaching techniques and favours a reflection on the relationship between the methodological and motivational strategies.
