  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!)
To increase her motivation, Miss Kay may want to talk with the student about why they are struggling with the reading and academic English. She could also pair her with a another student on some of her reading and academic English assignments. Encouraging her to work as or with a peer mentor may provide motivation for her to complete the assignments.
