A lesson model for enhancing motivation in EFL writing classes

Abstract

Not many students relish writing; instead, they fear it and avoid it. A lack of motivation is the prime reason behind their predicament. Teachers can positively encourage and motivate their students to write by employing the most appropriate teaching techniques and materials in the classroom. This study aims to propose a lesson model for enhancing motivation in EFL writing classes. The suggested lesson plan was experimentally employed wherein the students were observed and interviewed during and after the class. For data collection of the study, we also utilized a combination of classroom observations and product analysis. The collected data when analyzed and interpreted in the findings of the study indicated that the suggested lesson model was effective in motivating the learners well and encouraging them for writing. © 2011 ACADEMY PUBLISHER Manufactured in Finland.
