  Case: Motivation for ESOL Student
Miss Kay has a student who is classified as an EL and SPED. Shes pulls the student and works one-on-one with the student. Miss Kay and the student uses flashcards, games, computer programs, and worksheets. However, the student seems not to be motivated to complete the work. She is fluent in English, but struggles with reading and academic English. She just doesn't seem interested in the work. Any suggestions on how Miss Kay could increase the student's motivation?

Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It seems the teacher is using activities that are fun and interactive. Therefore, to encourage motivation, the teacher should be sure to praise the student for correct work. The teacher could even offer incentives for completed work, like a homework pass to be used later, a piece of candy, or some extra points on an assignment.

Comments: Praising the students is so important! Maybe the student doesn't do well because she has no confidence in herself, helping the student build self-confidence is very important.
