Motivational Practice in One to One Teaching of English

Mgr. Věra Fialová

Bachelor's thesis

Abstract:

The thesis deals with a specific aspect of one to one form of language teaching, namely how the unique potential of one to one teaching can be exploited in order to optimize individual students’ motivation to learn English. Drawing on the specifics of the one to one teaching setting and on a particular model of language learning motivation, the work proposes a system of motivational teaching practice in one to one incorporating two main components: general motivational guidelines applicable to all learners in one to one (basic motivational strategies) and a diagnostic tool (the Motivational Needs Analysis Framework), on the basis of which the teacher can tailor the motivational practice to a learner’s specific needs.
