Learners Differences

Aspect of Learner Motivation ( page 288)


1. How important do you think motivation is for success in language learning, compared to, for example, language aptitude?

The Motivation is the enthusiams for doing something, motivation has a latin term that is called "Motus" it means "Moved" , so the students are willing to learn if they join in the class, their progress depend on Feedback. In the second point is Language Aptitude which is how theyselves know their boundaries for their learning through their skills, according to their intuitions, it refers to the “prediction of how well, relative to other individuals, an individual can learn a foreign language in a given amount of time and under given conditions".


I think the Motivation is more inportant than Language Aptitude because the first one is the most important thing for a good learning, everyday the students are learning more ideas and it's necessary they can motivate  and rise their hands to ask or aswers questions so that improve their knowledge, but if a student were a motivated person and at the same time a person who were good enough for learning language, That would be much better!

Well I found out in a website about 7 rules of motivation, if you want to check it, only click:

2. What characteristics and behaviours you associate with the image of a motivated learner?



A motivated learner is willing to get better his/her learning not only with what the teacher says, the student should be a balance of time for doing the things, it means knowing look for information by himself/herself, watch telly ( news, cartoons, national geography, BBC, etc..), in general the students also want to have a good time when they are learning about a lot of ideas for becoming more intelligents than before at the school.
